Drinks snack: meatballs stuffed with cheese
Who's the next get-together at? Arriving empty-handed is of course a no-go. We have the recipe you always score points with: go for stuffed cheese meatballs this week!
Ingredients
For about 20 balls
500 grams of minced beef
125 grams of cheese (young or mature, whatever you like)
1 onion
1 teaspoon coarse mustard
1 egg
± 2 handfuls of breadcrumbs
few sprigs of fresh thyme
salt and pepper
olive oil for frying
Oliehoorn Brander-mayonnaise
Here's how to make it
Chop the onion very finely. Heat a dash of olive oil in a frying pan and fry the onion until translucent.
Meanwhile, dice the cheese and remove the thyme leaves from the sprigs.
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.
First add one handful of breadcrumbs and knead everything together. If the mince is still very sticky add some extra breadcrumbs.
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.
Heat again some olive oil in a large frying pan and fry the meatballs over high heat until nicely browned. Turn the meatballs regularly.
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.
Serve the balls with a bowl of Brander-mayonnaise on the side.
