Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, and milk. Mix until just combined, ensuring not to overwork the meat.
Add grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, finely chopped onion, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the pork mixture. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Using your hands or a meatball scoop, form the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Drizzle the meatballs with olive oil to help them brown nicely during baking.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Serve the savory pork meatballs with your favorite dipping sauce or over a bed of pasta for a complete meal.
