Breaded Italian Meatballs Recipe

Mix together ground beef, ground pork, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, and dried parsley in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Place egg, all-purpose flour seasoned with salt and pepper, and Japanese breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls. Shape meat mixture into 1-inch balls, about 1 tablespoon each, then coat balls in flour, dip in egg, and cover with breadcrumbs.

Heat 3 inches vegetable oil in a medium heavy-bottomed pan until it registers 375°F on a deep-fry thermometer. Deepfry meatballs for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown; drain. Serve immediately with marinara sauce.
