1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Stuff the Meatballs:
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture and flatten it slightly.
Place a cube of mozzarella in the center and form the meat around it to seal.
Repeat until all the meat is used.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil.
Sear the meatballs for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
Pour in the marinara sauce, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
