Ingredients
- ½ cup Panko
- 2 tbsp lukewarm water

- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ yellow onion, finely minced
- 1 tbsp minced fresh parsley
- 1 clove garlic, minced on microplane
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp oregano
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- ~¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, for cooking
- 16 oz marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Mix together the breadcrumbs and water and set aside.

- Shape into 2-inch balls.
- Heat oil in a large oven-safe pan. When oil is very hot but not smoking, fry meatballs in batches. When the bottom half of the meatball is brown and slightly crisp, turn and cook the top half.
- Pour the marinara sauce into the pan with the meatballs and cover with foil. Bake in the oven on 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.
- Remove the foil and add the cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and golden, about 5 more minutes.
