Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°F.

In a bowl, mix veal, egg, breadcrumbs and rosemary. Season generously with salt.

Shape small meatballs by pressing a cheese cube into a palmful of meat, and shaping with your hands into a sphere.

Arrange meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place on top oven rack; bake 8-10 minutes or until golden and fully cooked. Warning: do not overcook as cheese will melt and seep away.

Serve warm with marinara sauce as dip.
