How To Make martha stewart's cocktail meatballs

Step 1

Soften bread thoroughly in milk in a large bowl. Add beef, pork, pancetta, and onion; mix with your hands. Mix in egg yolks, 2 teaspoons salt, some pepper, the paprika, and thyme.

Step 2

Form into 1- to 1 1/4-inch balls. Chill in a single layer 1 hour.
Step 3

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Lightly coat a large skillet with oil, and fry meatballs in a single layer (do not crowd) over medium-high heat until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Repeat with remaining meatballs.
Step 4

Transfer to a baking pan, and bake until cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. See Martha Stewart's Comfort Food Recipes Collections.
