4 servings
- ½ lb ground beef (80/20)
- ½ lb ground pork
- ⅓ cup plain breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
Ingredient noteEggs are safe during pregnancy as long as they are cooked all the way through.
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tsp dried oregano
Ingredient noteOregano is fine during pregnancy in normal cooking amounts - this recipe uses about 1/4 tsp per serving. The caution is about concentrated oregano oil and large medicinal doses.
- ¾ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- olive oil spray
Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let stand for 2 minutes until the breadcrumbs have absorbed the milk and formed a paste.

Add the ground beef, ground pork, egg, garlic, Parmesan, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix with your hands until just combined — stop as soon as no streaks of breadcrumb paste remain; do not overwork the meat.
