  • 2 whole Eggs, Beaten
  • ¼ cups Milk
  • 1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

In a bowl, gently fold together meat, eggs, milk, bread crumbs, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and parsley. Make 6 large meatballs, stuff each with 1 ounce of fresh mozzarella cheese.

Wrap each meatball with 2 strips of bacon. Fry each meatball until the bacon is crisp and let cool for 5 minutes.

Defrost and roll out the pastry dough until it is 1/16 inch thick. Cut each pastry sheet into 3 equal parts each. Wrap the meatballs in the pastry dough and pinch closed (no air vents needed). Brush each pastry meatball with melted butter.

Place the meatballs on a baking sheet and cook for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
