In a large bowl combine onion, garlic, Parmesan cheese, eggs, half and half, parsley, basil, oregano and breadcrumbs.  Mix together.  Add the ground meat and salt/pepper; using hands mix well together.  Roll into balls (18) about golf ball size. 

Bake on a foiled baking sheet that was lightly sprayed with nonstick spray.  Bake in a 375 degree oven for 12-15 minutes, until browned.  They will finish cooking in the sauce.
