Should you add milk to meatballs?
Add Milk for Moisture A little bit of milk will add moisture to your meatballs. (Many people think it's the eggs that add the moisture, but their role is to bind the meat, breadcrumbs, cheese and herbs.)
Do eggs make meatballs moist?
Eggs are not a source of moisture! They're in the meatball mix to bind the meat, breadcrumbs, cheese, and herbs. The eggs will cook and make the meatballs dense and spongy--you want light, airy meatballs. For one to two pounds of meat, you usually won't need more than one or two eggs.
How do you make meatballs not fall apart?
Egg: A lot of meatball recipes add egg to the mince mixture because it helps to bind the balls together. Breadcrumbs: Breadcrumbs also help to bind your meatballs. If the mince mixture is quite wet, breadcrumbs will help soak up excess moisture so that the balls don't fall apart.
Why do you add breadcrumbs to meatballs?
Use egg and breadcrumbs Filler ingredients like breadcrumbs or flour are important too because they stop the meatballs becoming dry. The breadcrumbs absorb the juices from the meat as it cooks, trapping them within the meatball.
How can you tell if meatballs are cooked?
The easiest way to tell if a meatball is done is to stick a thermometer in there and make sure that it's over 140*F for a barely pink and juicy center. If you like them gray and dry (some people do) wait till the meatball is at about 165*F.
