Meatballs with cheese are a savory dish that blends tender ground meat—often beef, pork, or a mixture—with breadcrumbs, eggs, and flavorful seasonings like garlic, onion, and herbs. Cheese, such as mozzarella, parmesan, or cheddar, is either mixed into the meatball mixture or stuffed inside for a gooey, melted center. This dish is popular in Italian cuisine, often served with marinara sauce over pasta, or enjoyed as an appetizer. Nutritionally, meatballs with cheese offer a good source of protein and calcium, supporting muscle and bone health. However, they can be high in saturated fat, sodium, and calories depending on preparation methods and portion size. Baking instead of frying and using lean meats or plant-based alternatives can make this dish a healthier option. Adding vegetables to the recipe or serving them with a fresh salad can further boost its nutritional value.
