Notes

This recipe will create ultra-tender meatballs with a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
If you prefer your meatballs to be firmer: I'd recommend adjusting the amount of breadcrumbs to 1/3 cup and the milk to 1/2 cup and slightly reduce the amount of salt.
To cook your meatballs in the air fryer: place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket, and cook them for 10-12 minutes at 400ºF (200°C) or until they reach an internal temperature of 165˚F (74°C).
To freeze your meatballs: simply cook them as per regular instructions, and let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
They will be good for up to 3 months in the freezer. To serve, simply thaw them in the fridge overnight and reheat them at 350°F for 8-10 minutes in the oven or 3-5 minutes in the air fryer.
