Happy National Meatball Day! 🧆There's nothing quite like beautifully prepared Italian Meatballs. Take advantage of National Meatball Day by picking up some Aleia's breadcrumbs and enjoy the BEST MEATBALLS EVER! 😋
Nonna's Meatballs
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
• 1/2 lb. ground beef
• 1/2 lb. ground turkey or pork
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano
• 1/4 cup Aleia’s breadcrumbs (we have used Aleia’s plain and Italian for this!)
• 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste.
PREPARATION
1. Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl and incorporate well. If too wet, add a little more Parmigiano and breadcrumbs. Mixture should be moist but hold together. Form meatballs (about 1 1/2-inch balls), and set aside.
2. Coat the bottom of a skillet with extra virgin olive oil. When the oil gets hot, add the meatballs, fry them on all sides ’til golden, then finish cooking them in tomato sauce. The meatballs are super moist and tender this way, and you can eat them with pasta, in a grinder, or just ladled onto a plate. Totally delicious!
Enjoy!

Goat cheese and beets are a wonderfully delicious combination. Our tasty little goat cheese discs are taken to the next level by giving them a crunchy, golden crust to complement the creamy centers. A salad of mixed greens tossed with fresh herbs, shallots, orange segments, and sherry vinaigrette is placed on top of sweet, roasted beets. #CheeseLover These goat cheese discs are heaven-sent and incredibly easy to make. There is a bit more work involved with the beet salad, but it is well worth it.. and there are shortcuts to make it easier! Check out our website for the full recipe.
These would make a tasty addition to any salad!
Goat Cheese Disks:
1 (8-10 oz.) log of plain goat cheese
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 egg
1 cup Aleia’s Plain Breadcrumbs
Slice the goat cheese:
Place the goat cheese log in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up, do not freeze it. Remove from the freezer and slice the goat cheese log into 6 discs using a warm wet knife, rinsing the knife after each slice.
Fry the goat cheese disks:
1. Set up your dredging station with the egg wash and breadcrumbs. Working with one disc at a time, dip into the egg wash, then into the bowl of breadcrumbs, pressing firmly into the cheese. Top, bottom, and sides. Place the disc of cheese on a parchment-lined plate and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes.
2. Add enough oil to a skillet set over medium-high heat.
3. To test the oil, take a pinch of breadcrumbs and drop into the oil. If it starts to lightly brown, you know it’s ready.
4. Add half of the goat cheese discs and cook until golden and crispy. Carefully flip with a turner and cook the other side. It helps to tilt the pan one way and hold it there for a few seconds to brown the crumbs on the side as well.
5. Remove the fried goat cheese discs and place on a paper-towel lined plate.
6. Wipe out the skillet with paper towels, add additional oil and repeat the frying of the remaining goat cheese discs.
7. Serve warm.
