In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, minced garlic, egg, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until fully combined.
Divide the mixture into individual portions, shaping each portion into a small loaf. Place them on a baking sheet greased with olive oil.
