Cheeseburger Party Meatballs

Step 1

Place Meatball ingredients in a bowl and use your hands to combine.

Step 2

Refrigerate for 30 minutes (firms up, easier to handle). If in a rush, add more breadcrumbs until mixture is roll-able.

Step 3

Scoop up heaped tablespoons and dollop onto work surface with the flick of the wrist. Repeat with remaining mixture. Then roll into balls.

Step 4

Cut cheese into small squares to top each meatball.

Step 5

Cut larger gherkins in half, lengthwise.

Step 6

Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add meatballs in batches and cook, shaking the pan so they roll around, until browned all over and cooked through - 5 minutes. Between batches, drain excess oil (but keep some to cook next batch).

Step 7

Place cooked meatballs on a large plate that fits in your microwave. Top with cheese and a gherkin and secure with a toothpick.

Step 8

Microwave for 60 - 90 seconds or until cheese melts. Serve warm with ketchup!
