8 ounces ground pork
2 eggs
2 ounces grated parmesan cheese
salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions:
In a small bowl, place the bread; cover with milk and leave to soak.
Chop parsley and garlic together.
Squeeze milk out of the bread and add to meat along with parsley and garlic in a large mixing bowl.
Mix ingredients together, then add eggs and mix again.
Add Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Shape meatballs, make a hole in the top and insert a small piece of mozarella.
Cover over mozzarella, then roll meatballs in bread crumbs.
