Mix in a bowl the meat, eggs, bread, Parmesan cheese and salt. Mix with your hands until well mixed. Take some meat mixture in your hands; put 2 or 3 small pieces of the fresh mozzarella in the middle. Close the meat around the cheese and form into oblong balls. Roll the meatballs in breadcrumbs.

This recipe is from a cooking class that I attended at the Villa Ida in Sorrento, Italy. They cook with a lot of olive oil and white wine and only use fresh mozzarella cheese.
