Cheese-Stuffed Meatballs

• 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.
