Drinks snack: meatballs stuffed with cheese

Instructions(8)

• 1

  Chop the onion very finely. Heat a dash of olive oil in a frying pan and fry the onion until translucent.

• 2

  Meanwhile, dice the cheese and remove the thyme leaves from the sprigs.

• 3

  Put the minced meat in a large bowl. Add the fried onions, mustard, egg and thyme. Season further with plenty of pepper and a little salt.

• 4

  First add one handful of breadcrumbs and knead everything together. If the mince is still very sticky add some extra breadcrumbs.

• 5

  Next, start turning balls. Take a piece of minced meat, flatten it, put a cube of cheese on top, then fold the minced meat around it. Then turn it into a nice little ball, slightly smaller than a golf ball.

• 6

  Heat again some olive oil in a large frying pan and fry the meatballs over high heat until nicely browned. Turn the meatballs regularly.

• 7

  Then turn the heat down to low and cover the pan with a lid. Then bake the meatballs for about 10 to 12 more minutes until completely cooked.

• 8

  Serve the balls with a bowl of Brander-mayonnaise on the side.
