Mediterranean-Style Meatballs

Everyone loves meatballs! This version packs a little surprise with the cheese centre.

Preheat the oven to 175℃.

Place the drained mini Mozzarella balls into a bowl.

Finely slice the sun-dried tomatoes and freshly chopped basil, place it in the bowl and toss with extra virgin olive oil. Mix well and set aside.

In a separate bowl, mix the minced beef with eggs and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Create hand-size burgers.

Place the mozzarella with some tomatoes and basil in the center of each burger.

Note: Try to guess the right amount so you don't end up with spare mozzarella or meat.

Wrap the meat round the filling and create a small ball.

Place the meatballs on a baking dish greased with extra virgin olive oil or butter.
