Ingredients
- • 1 lb Ground Beef (80/20)
- • 1/4 cup Almond Flour
- • 1 Large Egg
- • 4 oz Cheddar Cheese (cubed)
- • 3 tbsp Salted Butter
- • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- • 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
- • Salt & Black Pepper to taste
Instructions
- The Base: In a mixing bowl, combine beef, almond flour, egg, and garlic powder. Season generously. Mix gently until just combined.
- The Surprise: Scoop 2 tbsp of meat, flatten, and place a cheddar cube in the center. Seal the meat around the cheese into a tight ball.
- The Sizzle: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear meatballs for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
- The Finish: Lower heat. Toss in butter, minced garlic, and parsley. Baste the meatballs in the melting herb butter for 2 minutes.
Quick-Fix Tip:
Ensure the cheese is fully encased to prevent leaks! Use an air fryer at 400°F for 10 minutes for an even faster crisp.
