• 60 g grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp salt

• ½ clove garlic

Add minced meet, eggs, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, ground pepper and finely cut parsley to the soften breadcrumb.

Step 3/6

Mix well with a spoon until the ingredients are united and the mixture homogeneous.

Step 4/6

Form small balls out of the mixed ingredients (with your hands or with the help of two table spoons). Then pass them on each side over some dried breadcrumbs.

Step 5/6

Place the meatballs on an oiled baking tin. Preheat the oven at 180 degrees and let the meatballs cook for about 30/40 minutes (cooking time will depend on the size of the meatballs).
