MEATBALL PARMESAN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400. Remove crusts from bread slices and discard. Tear remaining bread into small pieces and place in a small bowl. Pour milk over bread and let stand until liquid is almost absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, combine pork or veal, beef, soaked bread, onion, 1/4 cup Parmesan, the parsley, the garlic, the salt and the pepper until just combined. Form meat into golf-ball-size rounds. (You should have about 25 meatballs.) Meatballs can be formed up to 24 hours ahead, covered and refrigerated before frying.
• Fill a large skillet with 1/4-inch oil. Place over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, fry meatballs in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes per batch. Transfer fried meatballs to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Spoon a thin layer of sauce over the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Sprinkle one-third of the Parmesan over sauce. Scatter half the meatballs over the Parmesan and top with half the mozzarella pieces. Top with half of the remaining sauce, sprinkle with another third of the Parmesan, and repeat layering, ending with a final layer of sauce and Parmesan.
• Transfer pan to oven and bake until cheese is golden and casserole is bubbling, about 40 minutes. Let cool a few minutes before serving.

CHICKEN PARMESAN MEATBALLS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, ½ cup Italian breadcrumbs, 1 egg, and minced garlic. Mix well. Form into golf ball sized balls, place onto a plate, and freeze for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or wok to 350°F.
• Prepare a dredging station. Add flour to one bowl, whisk the 2 remaining eggs in the second bowl, and combine the Panko breadcrumbs, ½ cup of Italian breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning in the third bowl.
• Remove the meatballs from the freezer. Roll each meatball in the flour until coated. Dip into the eggs, then roll the meatball in the seasoned breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs into the meatball to help them stick. Repeat this process for all of the meatballs.
• Working in batches of 5-6 meatballs at a time, fry the meatballs for 6 minutes. Add the meatballs to the hot oil, flipping them over halfway cooking to evenly brown.
• Arrange the meatballs in a casserole dish. Pour marinara sauce over the meatballs and top with sliced mozzarella.
• Bake for 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
• Top each chicken parmesan meatball with a basil leaf and serve with pasta. Enjoy!
