These savory herb-infused baked meatballs are a delightful twist on a classic dish, offering a burst of flavor in every bite.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents the meatballs from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, milk, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and basil.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the meatballs tough.
Shape the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Using a small ice cream scoop can help you make evenly sized meatballs.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
Check the internal temperature of the meatballs; it should reach 160°F (71°C) for safe consumption.
Serve the meatballs warm with your choice of sauce or side dish.
Garnish with additional fresh basil or grated Parmesan for extra flavor.
