Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef or turkey
- 1 large Egg
- 100 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 small, finely chopped Onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef or turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Mix all the ingredients until well incorporated. Take care not to overmix as this can make the meatballs dense.
Using your hands, form small meatballs, roughly the size of a walnut, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Once all meatballs are shaped, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the meatballs in batches to the skillet and sear them on all sides until they are browned. This should take about 4-5 minutes per batch. Transfer the seared meatballs back to the baking sheet.
Once all meatballs are browned and placed on the baking sheet, transfer them to the preheated oven.
Bake for 10 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
Remove from the oven and let the meatballs rest for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy the mini meatballs hot, either on their own as an appetizer or with your favorite pasta or sauce.
