Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced) and line a flat baking tray with greaseproof paper.
  2. Combine the mince, breadcrumbs, parmesan, egg and sage in a bowl. Season and mix to combine.
  3. Roll the mixture into small balls (about the size of a golf ball) then roll these in the crushed cornflakes.
  4. Place on the baking tray, lightly spray with canola oil and transfer to the oven to cook for 20 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.

Notes

Tip
You could skip the cornflakes and just go with regular breadcrumbs, but the former add a touch of ‘party’ texture and flavour!
Variation
If you prefer, use a mixture of veal and pork mince.
