AWESOME MEATBALLS
This is not your normal meatball recipe. I BAKE these and find that they have a very light and moist texture. By soaking your breadcrumbs in milk, you will give these meatballs an incredibly soft texture. I always make a double batch and keep an extra batch in the freezer for when the kids bring home their friends. I always have a dinner in a matter of seconds!

Steps:
- In a small frying pan, place 1-2 T. oil in pan. Sauté on a medium heat the shallots and garlic until lightly brown and transparent.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, soft breadcrumbs, parsley, salt and pepper, thyme and parmesan cheese and milk together. Let stand so breadcrumbs can absorb milk. Add sautéed shallots and garlic and then add meat mixture. Mix, but don't overmix.
- Form into meatballs and place on a jelly roll pan lined with foil (I use Release Foil, so I don't have to spray with a non-stick spray - if you don't have Release Foil, spray your foil with non-stick spray).
- Place meatballs in 350°F oven for approximately 20-25 minutes. Let cool on wire rack and either place in freezer container or use as needed.
- Yield - 48 meatballs.

Tips:
- Use a combination of ground meats: This will give your meatballs a more complex flavor and texture. Try using a mixture of beef, pork, and veal, or lamb and beef.
- Soak your bread in milk or water: This will help to bind the meatballs together and make them more tender.
- Add plenty of seasonings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. Some good options include garlic, onion, parsley, oregano, basil, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Chill the meatballs before cooking: This will help them to hold their shape better.
- Cook the meatballs over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning on the outside while remaining raw on the inside.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the meatballs are cooked through: The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Conclusion:
Meatballs are a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you are making them as an appetizer, main course, or side dish, there are endless possibilities when it comes to flavors and ingredients. With a little creativity, you can create meatballs that are sure to please everyone at your table.
