Method

1. In a bowl, combine the lean beef mince, egg, parmesan, breadcrumbs, and chopped parsley.
2. Mix with your hands until the ingredients are well incorporated and form a workable dough.
3. Cut the scamorza cheese into small cubes of about 1 cm.
4. Take a small amount of the meat mixture, flatten it on your palm, and place a cheese cube in the center.
5. Close the meat around the cheese and roll it between your palms to form a smooth ball.
6. Preheat the air fryer to 190°C.
7. Place the meatballs in the basket and cook for 12-14 minutes until browned and the cheese is melted.

Tips

• Lightly spray the meatballs with oil before cooking for an even crispier golden exterior.
• These meatballs can be frozen raw and cooked directly in the air fryer, adding 3-4 minutes to the time.
