Polenta
 600 Water
 ½ Salt
 150 Cornmeal Polenta
Stuffing
 125 Mozzarella
 150 Feta
In addition
 2 Egg
 3 Flour
 120 Breadcrumbs
 1 Garlic powder
Directions
1

Prepare the polenta. Pour water with salt into a pot and bring it to a boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium. Gradually add the polenta while continuously stirring with a wooden spoon until a smooth consistency is achieved. Let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring well several times. Remove from heat and let cool.

2

In a deep plate, beat the eggs for an omelette.

3

Add the flour to a second plate.

4

In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the garlic powder and grated cheese.

5

Cut the feta and mozzarella into 14-15 small pieces.

6

Preheat the oven to 190°C, static heat. Prepare a tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

7

Lightly moisten your hands so that the polenta doesn’t stick. Take a tablespoon of polenta, flatten it in the palm of your hand, place a piece of cheese in the center, close it up, and form a ball. Roll it in flour, shake off the excess, and place it on a plate.

8

Prepare the other meatballs this way.

Then roll them in the beaten egg, then in the breadcrumbs, and place them on the tray. Bake and cook for 25-30 minutes or until they are lightly golden and crispy.

To finish, serve immediately. You can find the detailed recipe on my blog, as well as many other delicious recipes.
