#6 meatballs

4 large eggs
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
6 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
3 tbsp mayonaise
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 large garlic cloves (minced)
2 tps salt
1 tps ground black pepper
1.5 lbs ground beef

Additional olive oil (for frying)

Stir eggs, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, mayonaise, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper in large bowl to blend. Add ground beef and mix thoroughly. Form meatballs.

Pour enough oil into heavy large skillet to coat bottom; heat over medium-low heat. Add a few cloves of garlic (whole, smashed) to flavor oil. Working in batches, add meatballs and fry until brown and cooked through, turning frequently and adding more oil as needed, about 15 minutes per batch.
