Egg stuffed meatballs



A meatball that contains a surprise: a boiled egg! A delicious second course to prepare in the oven or, even better, fried. Tired of the usual meatballs? Try the Meatballs with boiled egg, prepared by enriching the traditional recipe with a small egg positioned in the center. When cut, the surprise will reveal itself to your guests leaving them pleasantly surprised. They can also be prepared in the oven but fried in a pan and served with sauces to taste, such as mustard and ketchup, they express their full potential! To get a perfect meatball recipe you will have to pay attention to the cooking time of the eggs. The other ingredients are the classics of meatballs: Minced Meat, Parsley, Parmesan and Bread Soaked in Milk.

Ingredients for 4 people

500 g minced beef
4 slices of  white bread
100 ml milk
2 tablespoons of Parmigiano Reggiano
2 Eggs
parsley to taste
12 Eggs
breadcrumbs to taste
salt to taste
Extra Virgin Olive Oil to taste

Procedure

To prepare the meatballs with boiled egg, start by cooking the eggs. Put them in a saucepan, cover with water and cook for 4 minutes from the boil. Then cool them under running water and peel them.
Separately, in a bowl, mix the meat with the bread soaked in milk and squeezed, Parmesan, chopped parsley, a pinch of salt and eggs to obtain a homogeneous mixture. Then add one or two tablespoons of breadcrumbs to obtain a consistency that can be worked with your hands. Take a tablespoon of the mixture, lay it on the palm of your hand and form a hole in the center. Insert the hard-boiled egg and cover it well. Give the meatball a long shape to pass it in breadcrumbs. Once the mixture is finished, fry the meatballs in a finger of oil, turning them often so as to prevent them from burning. Drain on a sheet of absorbent paper and serve immediately.

Recommendations
If you want, you can customize the meat with aromatic herbs or spices. Also, if you want a super crunchy result, after passing the eggs in the breadcrumbs let them do another round of breading.

Preservation
Meatballs with boiled egg keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days in an airtight container. I advise you to heat them in a pan before serving.
