Instructions

- Take one meatball and make a disc shape. Place 1 pearl sized mozzarella ball (or 1/4-1/2 inch sized piece) in the middle and fold the meat mixture around the mozzarella. Fold completely and shape into a round ball.

Notes
- you can make your own italian seasoning blend or buy a pre-made one. To make your own, add together 2 tablespoons of dried basil, 2 tablespoons of dried oregano, 1.5 tablespoon of dried thyme, 1 tablespoon of dried rosemary, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, and 1.5 tablespoon of dried parsley.
- I used Trader Joe's rice crumbs as a great alternative to make these gluten free. You can use panko or breadcrumbs as well!
