Instructions:
1. Heat oven to 375° F. Thinly slice the onion and mince the garlic.
2. In a small skillet over medium-low heat, warm oil and cook onion
and garlic for about 1 minute stirring frequently, until softened and
aromatic.
3. Transfer the onion and garlic to a bowl and mix in ground meats,
cheese, eggs, salt, and pepper. Roll into golf ball-size meatballs,
about 2 3/4 tablespoons each (or 16 meatballs for 4 servings). Place
on a jelly roll pan.
4. Bake 20–25 minutes, until browned and cooked to an internal
temperature of 160° F. Each serving is 4 meatballs (made from
about 2 3/4 tablespoons meat mixture each).
