Fried Meatballs with Feta Cheese
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Nutritional values
Small, but powerful: lean beef supplies plenty of iron and zinc. These two trace elements are important for blood formation and thus for oxygen transport and for good resistance. The spicy sheep's cheese not only supplies plenty of protein, but also strengthens bones and teeth with its high calcium content.
If you want to save even more fat, you can partially replace the minced beef with minced beefsteak (or tartar or scraped beef). Beefsteak mince also makes the balls even more aromatic. Either way, the meatballs taste great alone or in combination with a simple tomato sauce and pasta. And in the barbecue season you can also cook the meatballs on the grill.

Preparation steps
Soak roll in cold water. Peel and finely chop onion, then fry in butter. In a bowl, combine onion, bun (squeezed to remove water), ground meat and egg. Season with salt, pepper and thyme. Mix well. With moistened hands, form meatballs. Cut feta cheese into small cubes. Press a feta cube into the center of each meatball and shape meat to enclose cheese. Dredge meatballs in a little flour.
Heat oil in a pan. In batches, fry meatballs until crispy. Drain on paper towels. To serve, pile meatballs on a plate in a pyramid shape.
