Meatballs

Method

Meatballs

  1. 1

    Prepare the mixture

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped basil, egg, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

  2. 2

    Shape the meatballs

    Using your hands, shape the mixture into small meatballs, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Cook the meatballs

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through.
