“A quick, tasty, and easy grilled appetizer”

These cheesy, flavorful meatballs are made with a blend of savory seasonings, fresh herbs, and milk-soaked bread, lightly flattened, and topped with melted cheese for a delicious finish.

Ingredients:

• Minced meat (ground beef or your choice) – 500 g
• Garlic, chopped – 1 clove
• Shallot, chopped – 1
• Parsley, chopped – 1 tbsp
• Worcestershire sauce – 1 tsp
• Canned tomato paste – 1 tsp
• Bread crumbs soaked in milk – approx. 1/2 cup
• Grated cheese (to mix into meat) – 2 tbsp
• Salt, black pepper, paprika, cumin, 5-berry mix, thyme – to taste
• Drizzle of oil (for mixing) – 1 good drizzle

Instructions:

1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine minced meat, seasonings (salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, 5-berry mix, thyme), drizzle of oil, chopped garlic, chopped shallot, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, milk-soaked bread crumbs, and 2 tbsp grated cheese. Mix gently until combined.
2. Shape Meatballs: Form the mixture into balls, then slightly flatten them into small patties (like thick mini burgers).
3. Cook: Heat a mix of oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties until golden brown on both sides and cooked through (internal temp 160°F / 71°C).
4. Add Cheese: Grate extra cheese on top of the meatballs at the end of cooking, cover briefly to melt, and serve hot.
