Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into 4 cubes
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions. Flatten each portion slightly and place one mozzarella cube in the center.
  • Fold the meat around the cheese and shape each portion into a small loaf, sealing the edges to keep the cheese inside.
  • Place the loaves on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
  • Remove from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving with marinara sauce.

merknader

Press the meat firmly around each mozzarella cube to reduce the chance of cheese leaking during baking. Fresh mozzarella works best here because it melts smoothly without becoming watery. Leftovers reheat well in a 350-degree oven for 10 minutes to keep the centers creamy.
