Add beaten eggs; knead by hand until smooth and sticky. Cover and refrigerate until flavors blend, at least 30 minutes. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Form the lamb mixture into 1-inch balls. Arrange on a rimmed baking sheet. Mist the tops with cooking spray. Broil in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet and broil for 3 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Brush the meatballs with pomegranate molasses as soon as they come out of the oven. Cook's Note: Advieh is a Persian spice blend of cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cardamom, and dried rose petals. If you can't find it online or in a spice shop, mix up your own using one of the many recipes online. Or use a Middle Eastern spice blend with similar ingredients.
