Form the Balls
Using your hands, take a small amount of the mixture and form it into a ball about the size of a golf ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

Coat the Balls
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Roll each ball in the flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
