Crisp on the outside, moist on the inside, these baked cheese-stuffed appetizers are drizzled with a tasty sweet-sour glaze. Ingredients:
1 egg, lightly beaten |
1/4 cup ketchup |
1 small onion, finely chopped |
1/2 cup soft bread crumbs |
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley |
3 teaspoons paprika |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1 pound ground beef |
2-1/2 ounces feta cheese, cut into sixteen 1/2-in. cubes |
glaze: |
1 jar (12 ounces) orange marmalade |
1/4 cup orange juice |
3 green onions, chopped, divided |
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Divide into 16 portions; flatten. Top each with a cheese cube; form beef mixture around cheese into meatballs.
2. Place on a greased rack in a shallow baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until no longer pink. In a small saucepan, heat the marmalade, orange juice, half of the green onions and the jalapeno.
3. Place meatballs in a serving dish; pour glaze over the top and gently stir to coat. Garnish with remaining green onions. Yield: 16 meatballs.
