Due to their associations with birth and rebirth, eggs are practically synonymous with Easter, their unmistakable oval shape the model for numerous sweets associated with the holiday. Come Easter, a savory iteration of the beloved protein rests upon tables around Italy: hard-boiled and stuffed inside meatballs. 

Stuffing a meatball with a hard-boiled egg might seem like no small feat, but it's actually rather simple.  Prepare a classic meatball mixture from minced meat, eggs, Parmigiano, and breadcrumbs, then use it to “build” a meatball around the hard-boiled egg.
