Ingredients

Scale

For 4 people :

  • 100 grams of minced lamb meat (shoulder)
  • 40 grams of grated Gruyère AOP
  • 20 grams of breadcrumbs
  • 2 cl of white wine (Chasselas)
  • a bunch of chives
  • a pinch of powdered cumin
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius with convection heat.

In a bowl, grate the Gruyère AOP, add the white wine, and mix everything together.

Season the minced meat with salt, pepper, cumin, and chives. In the palm of your hand, form a ball and incorporate another ball of Gruyère AOP inside, close it without the Gruyère AOP coming out of the meat. Then, roll the meatballs in the breadcrumbs.

Place them on a baking sheet and lightly brush with olive oil.

Bake for 8 minutes.
