1/2 cup Mozzarella shredded
1/4 cup Basil Pesto in jar ( or your own recipe )
1/2 cup Italian breadcumbs
salt and pepper
Heat oven to 425 F
Combine beef, breadcrumbs, pesto, 1/4 tsp salt in a large bowl. Season with pepper. Mix together and then form 16-18 flat patties about 2 tblsp in size. Add 1 tsp mozzarella in the middle of each patty. Then shape and press patty firmly around the cheese, fully enclosing and create a ball until all meatballs are formed.
Add meatballs to parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake in middle of oven until cooked thru about 14-15 minutes. ( before they split open)
Top with sauce (I used the Testa Dura sauce. ) remaining mozzareall cheese and parmesan.
