Instructions

1. Use 24 mini wooden skewers for this recipe or 12 normal length that you’ve cut in half.
2. Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
3. Combine beef with egg, flour, garlic, and onion powder. Form into 24 even sized balls. Lay meatballs onto the prepared baking tray and bake 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through. Turn the meatballs over once during the cooking time.
4. Remove the meatballs from the oven and while still hot, top each meatball with a little ketchup and then a piece of cheese. Place back into the oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted over each meatball.
5. Thread each mini skewer with a slice of pickle, a cheesy meatball, a cherry tomato half and a small piece of lettuce.
6. Three meatball bites make one serving.
7. You could cook the meatballs ahead of time and store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days to reheat and assemble on skewers as required. Can also be served cold.
