About
Simple meatballs are stuffed with fresh mozzarella cheese balls and wrapped in prosciutto. Baked to a crisp, the prosciutto provides a crispy and salty crunch to each bite of meatball. Met with a tender and cheesy center, you get a scrumptious combo of flavor and texture!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pound meat ground 90% lean sirloin by freshdirect
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ground
- ½ teaspoon garlic, powder
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- ½ cup, shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 ½ ounce fresh food castelli maxi mozzarella balls by tesco
- 6 slice prosciutto
Instructions
- Preheat and oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the ground sirloin with all the seasonings and parmesan cheese.
- Form the meatball mixture into 12 portions (2-inch meatballs) and us your thumb or knuckle to press an indentation down into each one. Slice 6 mozzarella balls into 12 pieces and place 1 piece in the center of each meatball.
- Roll each meatball into shape around the mozzarella and place them in a large sheet tray lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Slice 6 pieces of prosciutto into 12 squares. Wrap each piece of prosciutto around a meatball, placing the seams of the prosciutto under the bottom. It’s okay if the prosciutto doesn’t completely wrap around because it shouldn’t come loose in the oven.
- Bake the tray of meatballs for 25-30 minutes, no flipping or rotating required. Enjoy while hot and the cheesy centers are gooey!
