Meatballs are an ultimate comfort food, and anything is made better stuffed with cheese and fried. This recipe from a former Murray's Cheese Shop monger is sure to spice up your next meatball dish.

Be non-discriminating when it comes to choosing the type of meat with which to stuff some cheese. Mozzarella's great for this, but I think fontina would be amazing with pork, or feta with lamb. Blue cheese could work on the inside of a beef meatball, almost akin to a blue cheese burger. Other great melty cheeses to try here: cheddar, munster, gruyere, raclette, or emmenthaler. Just be sure that the pieces are small enough to melt thoroughly.
