Separate the meat mixture into 20 meatballs and stick a cube of mozzarella into each. Wrap pork around that cube. Be sure to center the mozzarella cube into each of the meatballs so they cook evenly.
Next, heat up a large pan with a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, carefully place all the meatballs in and begin cooking. When the first side has reached a nice golden brown color, turn them all over to the next side. When that side reaches a golden brown color, flip them again to another side. Add another drizzle of olive oil and continue this process until all sides are gorgeous golden brown. (If you notice that the meatballs are beginning to turn black before they are ready on the inside, feel free to turn the heat down a little bit.)
When all the meatballs are ready, serve them with a big bowl of pasta or in a warm + crunchy meatball sub. Enjoy! <3
