In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk and let stand for 2 minutes until the breadcrumbs have absorbed the milk and formed a soft paste (a panade).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the soaked breadcrumb panade, egg, minced garlic, parsley, Parmesan, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until uniform, then add the ground beef and ground pork. Using your hands, mix just until the ingredients are evenly combined — stop as soon as no streaks of meat remain to keep the meatballs tender.
