Preparation

Preheat the oven at 425°F.
In a big bowl, add all the ingredients except the panko. Mix well with your hands. Add the panko then mix again.
Pour a couple of drops of olive oil in your hands and rub them together, this will prevent the mix to stick! Take about 1 tablespoon of the mix, form a nice and cute ball then place on a non-stick cooking pan. Continue with the rest of the mix and place them on the pan at about 2-4 cm apart.
Throw in the oven and cook for about 20-25 minutes, until nicely cooked and golden! Flip from times to times to make sure they color on all sides!

Our sommeliers suggest

Ropiteau Bourgogne Chardonnay 2023

Burgundy, France

The Ropiteau Bourgogne Chardonnay, an aromatic, round white from Burgundy, plays both sides with these meatballs: its roundness gets along with the melted cheddar, and its freshness cuts the pork fat and the saltiness of the cheese so you want another one. The fennel seeds and thyme go down easy. Great for an appetizer that disappears in a flash. See the product

Bohemian Pilsner, Brasserie Vrooden

Pork, cheddar and maple in the same meatball: it's fatty and sweet. A German-style pilsner, with honey, caramel and fresh bread, sits right on top, and its light bitterness is quickly softened by the cheese. The mouth stays clean, which is the whole point. See the product

*Pairings are suggestions. If you can't find the exact product, substitute for the same type of beer or varietal blend from the same region. Feel free to ask a consultant for help!
