lamb meatballs with feta cheese on skewers

Greek Lamb Meatballs Appetizer (with Feta Cheese)

These authentic lamb meatballs are one of my favorite party appetizers! They are moist, juicy and packed with Greek seasonings and creamy chunks of feta. Serve them with mini toothpicks and a creamy tzatziki sauce, and your guests will be raving.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground lamb
  • 1 egg
  • 2 medium garlic cloves
  • 1 small yellow onion, grated*
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated dill
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3-4 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
  • Tzatziki Sauce for dipping

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  • Combine all of your ingredients EXCEPT for your feta in a large bowl.
  • Once combined, add your crumbled feta cheese and mix it until it is combined. (Try to keep your feta chunky!)
  • Use a mini ice cream scoop to scoop out about 1 oz of lamb onto a greased baking sheet. They do not have to be too spaced apart as they will not change size.
  • Bake for 11-12 minutes or until the internal temperaure reaches 145°F.
  • Serve warm with mini skewers and tzatziki sauce on the side. (Recipe link is above.)

Recipe Notes

Yield* 20-22 (1 oz.) meatballs
If you do not have a grater for your onion, you can use a food processor. You want the onion in a "mash" not chunky.
