Ingredients

4 persons

  • 4 eggs
  • 600 grams ground meat
  • 1 pinch paprika
  • breadcrumbs
  • 400 gram ELVEA Cubetti Italian Herb Mix
  • 4 tablespoons grated cheese
  • fresh herbs
  • pepper
  • salt

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

  2. 2

    Boil the eggs hard-boiled.

  3. 3

    Season the minced meat with salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Turn the minced meat into 4 burgers with your hands, pressing them well flat.

  4. 4

    Place a peeled hard-boiled egg in the center of each burger and fold the corners of the burger inward over the egg. You will now have a meatball.

  5. 5

    Pass the balls successively through the breadcrumbs. Deep-fry the meatballs in pairs so that they have a golden brown crust.

  6. 6

    Pour the Elvea cubes over into a baking dish and place the meatballs inside. Sprinkle some grated cheese over the dish and slide into the oven for 20 minutes.

  7. 7

    Serve with fresh herbs.
