Ingredients
  

  • 500 g ground beef or a mix of beef and veal
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 100 g cheddar shredded or sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons Parmesan grated
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • optional sesame seeds for garnish
  • optional fresh parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Skillet
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

  1. Start by prepping everything—finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, half of the Parmesan, salt, and pepper; mix gently until just combined.
  3. Divide the mixture into equal portions—about golf ball-sized.
  4. Take one portion and flatten it into a disc; place a piece of cheddar in the center and wrap the meat around the cheese, sealing it completely.
  5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the bombs for about 2 minutes per side until they develop a nice crust.
  6. Transfer the bombs to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and sprinkle the remaining Parmesan on top.
  7. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Notes

Use freshly grated Parmesan instead of pre-shredded for better flavor. Don't skip seasoning the meat mixture—it’s essential for flavor. Let the bombs rest for 5 minutes after baking to allow the juices to redistribute. You can prep the bombs a day in advance and store them in the fridge until ready to bake. For a smoky twist, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the meat mixture.
