Egg Stuffed Meatballs recipe
Treat yourself to this Italian-style gem: Egg Stuffed Meatballs! This easy and delicious recipe is inspired by stuffed polpette, aka giant meatballs, from the Puglia region of Southern Italy. Tender, juicy beef meatballs stuffed with whole eggs and baked in the oven are utterly irresistible. Skipping the browning step and baking the shaped meatball in a muffin pan delivers all of the flavor with much less work. Pair them with steamed rice, pasta, or creamy mashed potatoes – and you have yourself a well-rounded meal.
The meat mixture is simple – lean ground beef, sautéed onions, garlic, oat flour, an egg, flavorful spices and fresh herbs – and comes together in a food processor in just a few pulses. The recipe is gluten-free (make sure to check the labels of Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and oats) and dairy-free.
