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

[@isabellanieves8189]

It looks awesome 😎

[@karenrediker2449]

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

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

[@sophiegriffin8627]

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

[@lauradesimone399]

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!

[@nicolehunter5927]

WOW... we learn different things about different cultures through food.. thank you...

[@mainman127]

I don’t even cook.. but I just love watching her videos because she’s so genuine and the food looks awesome

[@darlenecanterbury986]

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!!!!!♥️😉♥️♥️♥️

This is a great option for vegetarians.

[@joselynhernandez2999]

How? It has eggs?

[@xsydx2243]

@@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

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

[@donnafassano163]

I totally forgot that trick! Thanks for the reminder :)

[@fallbackbee9170]

I miss my mother, but I thank her for teaching me how to cook. Italian mothers are everything.

[@nuclearbananas3]

my family does this too!! so delicious, and prevents wasting the leftover egg and breadcrumb. so perfect :)

[@jas66mustang]

[@mariacasella979]

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

[@francapunzi871]

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...

[@colleenmondolfi5343]

They came out great on the 1st try..Delicious!!

[@JannyLovesManny]

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

[@z.a.r.777]

Looks absolutely delicious. I don't like to eat meat that much. This recipe is perfect. Thank you

My grandmother used to make these but she used stale Italian bread instead of the breadcrumbs. I'm going to try this!

[@seagullsbeauty]

Love her personality.

[@silvialivick3034]

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

This looks great! Is it possible to substitute the breadcrumbs with flour? Thanks!

[@pg4427]

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.

[@amybreski2611]

definitely can make this gluten free- Great for Lent

My mom used to makes these but in patties with left over breading and egg mixture when when making eggplant or chicken cutlets

[@JaimeGibson]

never had, will try soon!!!!

[@brookelloyd834]

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!

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. :)

[@BuddyValastroandFamily]

Patsy, thank you so much for the lovely comment and for trying our recipes. This is so helpful!

[@patsyeaton393]

luvlifeallUcan Thanks for the feedback... now I'm probably going to have to try it again. They really are delicious :)

What can i used to substitude the cheese? My son is allergic to cheese!

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

[@steviesosa5617]

Ooooo Yummy🤩

[@cherylbertolini3140]

Can I use chickpea flour instead of breadcrumbs?

[@colleenhollenbeck2942]

I cant believe how big the egg balls got thats crazy.

[@BuddyValastroandFamily]

It's magic!

[@karlygashzhokei7585]

“One tablespoon at a time”. But add 5 tablespoons. 🧐🤨

[@isabellarodz6574]

[@chelseac2190]

The Egg Balls look great. I will substitute with gluten free bread crumbs.

[@GigisVids7]

How many egg balls does one recipe make?

[@susanaitch3347]

Looks delicious…. But is it healthy with all that cheese??!

[@jamesandrewtot]

Could you omit the Cheese if you're making for a Vegan or a Person with a Lactose Allergy?

[@Piluttatingeling]

There is lactose free cheese but usually these hard agef cheeses have like minimal traces of lactose in them. FYI: Vegans don't eat eggs.
