We are talking about milk core meatballs, a delicious combination of juicy meat and a creamy interior that will bring a smile to your face. These meatballs are not only a perfect appetizer but also a main course that pairs wonderfully with pickles or a fresh seasonal salad.
Brief History
Meatballs are a traditional dish in many cultures, based on minced meat, but each region adds a unique touch. In this recipe, we add a special ingredient, milk core, which brings extra flavor and a creamy texture. Milk core is a dairy product that enriches the dish, giving it an unmistakable aroma.
Essential Ingredients
- 300 g minced meat (a mix of beef and turkey)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic and spice flavored salt
- 4 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 150 g Delaco milk core
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil (for greasing the tray)
Necessary Utensils
- Large bowl for mixing the ingredients
- Baking tray
- Parchment paper
- Wooden spoon or spatula
Step by Step
1. Preparing the Meat Mixture
Start by placing the minced meat in a large bowl. Add the eggs, flour, breadcrumbs, flavored salt, finely chopped green onions, and sweet paprika. Mix all the ingredients with a wooden spoon or by hand until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. Make sure all ingredients are well integrated.
2. Forming the Meatballs
Begin to form small balls from the meat mixture, taking care to moisten your hands with a little oil to prevent sticking. Each ball should be about the size of a golf ball.
3. Adding the Milk Core
Take each meatball, make a small indentation in the center, and place a piece of Delaco milk core inside. Wrap the meat around the core tightly, thus forming the meatball. This step is the secret that will make your meatballs truly special.
4. Preparing the Tray
Line the baking tray with parchment paper. Place the meatballs in the tray, leaving some space between them for even baking.
5. Baking
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Place the tray with meatballs in the oven and let them bake for about 20 minutes, or until they become golden and crispy on the outside.
Serving
Milk core meatballs are served hot, alongside pickles or a fresh seasonal salad. You can also add a garlic yogurt sauce for an extra flavor boost. This dish is perfect for a quick dinner or a gathering with friends.
Practical Tips
- Ingredient Variations: You can experiment with different types of minced meat, such as chicken or pork, or add extra spices like oregano or basil to customize the recipe.
- Milk Core: If you don't have Delaco milk core, you can use mozzarella or ricotta cheese, but the taste will be different.
- Freezing: These meatballs can be frozen before baking. Place them on a tray, freeze for an hour, then transfer to a freezer bag. When you're ready to cook them, there's no need to thaw; you can bake them directly from the freezer, just add a few extra minutes to the time.
Nutritional Benefits
These meatballs are a good source of protein due to the meat and eggs, while the milk core adds calcium and vitamins. Additionally, the green onions provide extra antioxidants and dietary fiber, making them a healthy choice for a balanced meal.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use another type of cheese instead of milk core?

2. Will the meatballs be as juicy if I fry them?
Frying gives a different flavor, but baking makes them healthier and retains moisture.
3. Can I make the meatballs spicier?
Sure! Add a bit of chili pepper or chili sauce to the meat mixture for a spicy kick.
