100 g of the soft part of bread
2 eggs

- Add the lightly beaten eggs, the grated Pecorino cheese and knead until you obtain a compact mixture.
- Form walnut-sized balls and insert a cube of Provolone, which you have already cut, into each ball.
- Fry the meatballs in hot oil at 170 °C (338 °F) for a few minutes, remembering to add only a few meatballs at a time to avoid lowering the temperature too much.
- Drain them on a paper towel to remove excess oil and serve them while still hot, perhaps accompanied by a vegetable sauce, one of our compotes, or your favorite honey.
