Learn how to make delicious Spinach Garlic Meatballs Stuffed with Mozzarella in 15 Min. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef (substitute with turkey or chicken for a lighter option)
1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free if needed)
1 egg, lightly beaten
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped spinach, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, breadcrumbs, and beaten egg. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Divide the mixture into approximately 12 portions. Flatten each portion slightly and place a cube of mozzarella in the center. Carefully shape the meat around the cheese, forming a ball, and ensure the cheese is completely enclosed.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the meatballs for about 7-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through. The cheese inside should be melted and gooey.
Remove the meatballs from the skillet and let them rest for a minute before serving.
