Why do you put egg and breadcrumbs 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. … And make sure not to add too much breadcrumbs, either–about a half cup per pound of meat will suffice.
Why are my meatballs tough?
If meatballs are packed too tightly and compactly, they’ll turn out tough, rubbery, and chewy. Oil your hands so that the mixture won’t stick to them and gently and quickly form the meatballs. Better yet, use a small ice cream scoop to make uniformly-sized meatballs.
