Pre-heat oven to 425ºF. In a bowl mix bread, whisked egg, pine nuts, garlic, onions, parmesan cheese, parsley, basil, salt and pepper=A. The mixture should be like a paste consistency. In another bowl add the ground beef, and make a well in the middle of it=B. MixA and B together until blended well. Form 1 inch size balls and place on greased backing sheet. Bake for about 25 mins (or until done).

Ask a question about this stepTo be honest I feel the same way. The night when I made these meatballs, I couldn't sleep because I got the house to hot!!
Thank you! I am a fan of your additions as well!

This looks really good. I have resisted baking meatballs, but I think I will give it a try...after I no longer am up to my ears in meatballs, so next time!
