This is exactly what my parents have always done with the extra egg and bread crumbs from making chicken cutlets....we had a huge plate of cutlets and my father would make “bread” with the remanding batter. It was a beautiful meatless fried flat bread 🥖🙂 LOVE Lisa’s videos
My son and daughter in law raise chickens so they always have extra eggs. I had never heard of doing this before so I’m definitely going to try to see if the family likes it. Thank you
I've made a similar recipe with Spinach for many years. Just take frozen spinach and drain the moisture by twisting the spinach in a dish towel to remove excess water. The Spinach adds vitamins and texture and helps keep the balls together. Yum!
Lisa I swear I’m literally making my second batch of egg balls. This is so good and so simple. I’m home with the flu and haven’t gone grocery shopping, but I had all those ingredients. Boom! Dinner served
@@joselynhernandez2999 because VEGANS are the ones who won't eat eggs. They abstain from all animal products. Vegetarians mostly abstain from meat and meat only. There's a difference between vegetarianism and veganism
I cant tell you the last time I was this excited to find a cook I love!!! Easy to follow amazing meals that you help everyone threw !! I adore Lisa I wish she had her own show !!! Thank you!!!! Keep them coming please!!!!!♥️😉♥️♥️♥️
My Mom was born and raised in Italy she now lives in America but she told me when she was small they couldn't afford meat so,they always made meatless meatballs and we use a mixture like this to stuff squid with for Christmas Eve with pasta and a red sauce ....recipe is a lil different but it's so cool to see someone else also makes these..thank you for sharing
Clear and charming! Thank you, Lisa! I have been in love with cooking since I was very young, and I am happy to have come up your videos because we never stop learning, do we? :) You make quite a refreshing influence on my way of cooking! :) All the best to all of you and your folks! :)
Oh my goodness!! Thank you for your videos Lisa! 🥰 My Aunty Rosie ( Notaro ) Donovan Was our Italian cook in my family She passed almost 30 yrs ago. So your videos are helping me make things for my family that my Aunty made 🥰 Definitely trying this!
My mother makes eggplant balls with a little bit of white rice to help make it stick...now those are delicious egg balls!!! Lisa’s eggballs look good but compared to eggplant in tomato sauce I can guarantee eggplant balls taste much better.
My Sicilian family had made egg balls for my entire life, they’re easily everyone’s favorite. But my Italian great grandma was not big on “recipes” per se (Nona: “add some parmesan, as much as you need... add the eggs,” Us: “how many eggs Nona?” Nona: “As many as it takes you mamaluke!”) so that made it difficult to get the egg balls “just right.” I’ve spent years trying to get them as good as my grandma and great grandma’s egg balls and I’ve gotten pretty good but my problem was mine were never as light and fluffy as theirs and I couldn’t get it no matter what. Last night I made them using your method Lisa (not frying them before you put them in the sauce and doing the eggs first only adding breadcrumbs a little at a time so you can control the texture much easier) and I can’t even tell you how awesome they turned out! My husband (who has tried and loved many iterations of my egg balls over the years) literally stopped after his first bite and said “oh my god” out loud. He said they are easily the best egg balls he’s ever had. So thank you so much for helping us to perfect our family favorite!
Those looked so good it looks like what i make in chicken soup except omit all ingredients but the egg I use egg lots of onion powder and sale.pepper.drop in soup broth and have lots of egg puffs in my soup
Have you ever heard of a poor man’s cutlet? It is the mixture that is left after you have made your Chicken cutlets, the egg and the bread crumb that is left, you combine it together and fry it in the same pan as the chicken cutlet, it’s delicious, you spoon it in the pan of to make the shape of a cutlet
Well, I've made this recipe twice. The first time I halved it, the dough didn't really firm up after 15 minutes in the frig, and they didn't rise when I covered the pot and cooked them for 10 minutes. Disappointing, however, I DID mess with the recipe by halving it. So, today, I made them again, exactly according to the recipe. Used a little more sauce (jarred) this time too. I allowed the dough to chill for 20 minutes in the frig this time, however, it was still too wet, wouldn't really roll into a ball, and stayed pretty flat after 10 minutes on one side, and another 10 on the other. So I'm thinking, maybe it's the sauce I'm using. It didn't really 'simmer'.. it kind of blub, blub, blubbed--like sauce does... I still had a TON of dough, so I tried boiling water and cooking them in that..sort of like matzo balls. They were very wet, very loose and didn't really hold together very well. I tossed those in the garbage. I still had quite a bit of dough left. For my final attempt, I greased a mini muffin pan and baked them for 15 minutes. I'm sure they lost a great deal in the translation, but at least they cooked into a usable item. They were almost baked omelet -like ..sort of. The flavor was really good though. I did a second batch in the mini muffin tin, baking for 10 minutes this time--much better! Not at all sorry I tried the recipe. I doubt I'll ever try to make them in sauce again. Since the dough was the same both times I made it, I'll probably only make half the recipe if I ever do it again and just bake all of it in the mini muffing tins, freezing the surplus balls after they've cooled. Half the recipe makes a LOT. The full recipe makes a TON. :)

Wow that’s amazing I have never heard or seen this kind of food before looks delicious... I definitely going to try that out one day
I’ve made them at least a dozen times and always come out perfect! Great recipe 😁
My family would make these with extra breading from chic cutlets! We just fried them, and ate them like that!! I still do it till today! Love them
I totally forgot that trick! Thanks for the reminder :)
I miss my mother, but I thank her for teaching me how to cook. Italian mothers are everything.
my family does this too!! so delicious, and prevents wasting the leftover egg and breadcrumb. so perfect :)
I don’t even cook.. but I just love watching her videos because she’s so genuine and the food looks awesome
This is a great option for vegetarians.
How? It has eggs?

Lisa sei brava, ma troppo aglio nelle polpette di pane, noi in puglia li facciamo sempre e poi si friggono prima di metterle nel sugo...
these are SO GOOD! Thank you for the recipe! Rolling the egg balls definitely is tricky but this will definitely be a go to recipe!
This is amazing. I’m vegetarian. I will definitely be trying out this recipe.
Italian Matzoh Balls!!! So cool and vegetarian 🌱.

My grandmother used to make these but she used stale Italian bread instead of the breadcrumbs. I'm going to try this!
They came out great on the 1st try..Delicious!!
Oh my goodness!!

That’s the “stuffing” my family uses when making lamb ....my mom used to make me a few stuffing balls on the side bc I loved them so much
Janice Ann your moms sweet.

Looks absolutely delicious. I don't like to eat meat that much. This recipe is perfect. Thank you
You just gave me a great idea ! I love meatballs and I'm going to try this out. Thank You ! 😋
Those looked so good it looks like what i make in chicken soup except omit all ingredients but the egg I use egg lots of onion powder and sale.pepper.drop in soup broth and have lots of egg puffs in my soup
These are a little like matzo balls, sans the cheese, and bread crumbs instead of matzo meal. Can't wait to try them!!
Well I like all the ingredients , I think every Italian house has the ingredients in stock..lol..I will give it a try..they look good.. thank you..
