Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
3 slices white bread, crusts removed, diced
⅔ cup cold water
1 lb lean ground beef, 85/15 fat content
1 lb ground pork
¼ cup parmesan cheese, shredded
1 large egg
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 Tbsp parsley, finely chopped
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 Tbsp olive oil, to sautée

How to Make Meatballs:
Combine diced bread in large bowl with ⅔ cup water. Soak 5 min then mash with a fork. Meanwhile, prepare remaining ingredients.
Into bowl of mashed bread crumbs, add ground beef, ground pork, ¼ cup parmesan cheese, 1 egg, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 Tbsp parsley, 1 tsp salt, and ½ tsp black pepper. Use hands to stir mix together until well combined. Do not overmix.
Portion onto a lined baking sheet (2 Tbsp per meatball – an ice cream scoop makes it easy). With wet hands, roll meatballs into 1½" diameter balls.
How to Cook Meatballs:
To Sautée: Heat large non-stick pan over med-heat. Add 2 Tbsp oil. Once oil is hot, add meatballs to skillet, placing them in one at a time, cook in batches to get a good sear. Sautée, turning every 2 min (total 6-8 min) until evenly browned.
To Bake Meatballs: Place on lined baking sheet 2" apart; bake in a fully preheated oven at 400˚ for 20-23 min.
