Do U Put egg in meatballs?
They’re in the meatball mix to bind the meat, breadcrumbs, cheese, and herbs. The eggs will cook and make the meatballs dense and spongy–you want light, airy meatballs. For one to two pounds of meat, you usually won’t need more than one or two eggs.
What happens if you don’t add breadcrumbs to meatballs?
Meatball recipes use breadcrumbs as a binder, in other words, that is what holds the meatball together and keeps it from falling into bits like ground beef. Without the breadcrumbs, you will need some sort of binder to keep the meatballs holding together as balls. That is where eggs come in.
