Servings: persons

1 pound ground beef
1/2 white onion finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons Italian parsley, minced
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 pound mozzarella, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil

1
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, onions, garlic, parsley, egg, salt, pepper and breadcrumbs (don't overmix or they'll be rock-solid).
2
Divide mixture into 8 balls.
3
Semi-flatten each ball, add a cube of mozzarella to the center and sculpt the meat mixture around it to form a seal.
4
Heat olive oil in a large, heavy pan and fry meatballs on each side (we know they're balls, find sides) for 3-5 minutes, or until browned.
5
Serve while piping hot for best cheese effect.
