This is a combination of a couple of recipes I found and adapted into one. Hope you like it. Ingredients:
250 g ground meat (beef and or pork) |
1 egg |
5 tablespoons breadcrumbs |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 teaspoon parsley |
4 slices bacon (finely chopped) |
1/2 teaspoon mustard |
4 tablespoons parmesan cheese (grated) |
70 g cream cheese |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
3 fresh basil leaves (finely chopped) |
2 -3 pinches dried italian seasoning (basil, marjoram, oregano, rosemary, sage, and or thyme) |
Directions:
1. Mix the first 9 ingredients together in a bowl to make the meatballs.
2. Separate into 8 equal parts and build flat round patties.
3. Mix the rest of ingredients into a separate bowl to make the filling.
4. Preheat oven to 200°C.
5. Divide the filling onto 4 of the patties. Be careful not to add too much and to place it in the center.
6. Place the remaining 4 patties on top of the filling, being careful not to spill the filling.
7. Add some olive oil to a hot pan and sear the patties for 30 secs on each side.
8. Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes to finish them off.
