Mediterranean Sliders

Mediterranean Sliders

These were easy and utterly delectable!  Melted in our mouths!!  These would be great by themselves with a side dish…..added to a tomato sauce or in added into a soup.  I ate a couple right off the cookie sheet….I just couldn’t help it.  

1.         1 lb. of ground lamb (preferred) or ground chicken (gr. Turkey might be too dry)

2.      1 egg (beaten)

3.      ¼ cup of parmesan cheese  (this and the egg act as the binder in the absence of bread crumbs)

4.      1 tblsp. Dried Mediterranean Basil, 1 tsp. oregano, a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes, a pinch of ground cloves, a pinch of fennel seed, a pinch of salt, and a couple of pinches cracked black pepper.

Mix all this together in a bowl.  Using a cookie scoop or a large tablespoon, scoop out equal portions of these onto a foil lined cookie sheet, or a broiler pan.  (might need some non-stick spray or light coating of EVOO or butter)  Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, then at 375 for 5-8 minutes.  Enjoy!!!
