Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried sage
- 0.25 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for cooking
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, combine ground pork, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, sage, and thyme. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.
- Shape the mixture into 12 equal-sized meatballs, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
- Cook meatballs for 4-5 minutes per side, turning gently, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F / 71°C).
- Transfer cooked meatballs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with eggs, toast, or your favorite breakfast sides.
