Preparation of Bread Meatballs with Herbs

Coarsely chop the bread and put it in a large bowl.
Wet it with 3/4 cup of milk and 7/16 cup of room temperature water.
Cover and let it rest for about half an hour.
After the first 15 minutes, give it a stir to evenly wet the bread.
After 30 minutes, add the eggs to the bread mixture and blend everything with an immersion blender.
Once blended, add the grated cheese and give it a stir.
Then add all the herbs and mix well to combine everything.
Now form balls about the size of ping pong balls. You can make them by hand or use an ice cream scoop.
Pour some breadcrumbs into a small bowl and bread the meatballs.
Then let them rest for about ten minutes.
Then transfer them to the air fryer and cook them at 392°F for 15 minutes, turning them halfway through.
And voilà… the bread meatballs with herbs are ready to be served and enjoyed, perhaps with some accompanying sauces.
