Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef or lamb – Both work great. Lamb gives a more traditional Greek flavor but beef is just as juicy and delicious.
  • 1/4 cup almond flour – This keeps it low-carb and acts as a binder instead of breadcrumbs. Don’t skip this!
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese – Adds salty creamy richness to every bite. Always use fresh feta if possible.
  • 1 egg – Helps hold everything together and adds moisture.
  • 1 tsp dried oregano – A must-have for authentic Greek flavor.
  • 2 cloves garlic minced – Brings depth and aroma. Use fresh for the best taste.
  • Salt and pepper to taste – Season to your liking, but don’t overdo it since feta is already salty.

Method
 

  1. Grab a large mixing bowl and add your ground meat of choice, almond flour, crumbled feta, minced garlic, oregano, egg, salt, and pepper. Using clean hands or a spoon, mix everything until well combined. Make sure the mixture is evenly blended, but don’t overwork it or the meatballs may turn out tough.
  2. Once your mixture is ready, begin forming small meatballs. You can make them bite-sized for appetizers or slightly larger for a main dish. Try to keep them uniform in size so they cook evenly. I usually make around 12 to 14 medium-sized ones.
  3. Heat your skillet over medium heat with a little oil. Once it’s hot, place the meatballs gently into the pan. Cook them for about 3–4 minutes per side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Don’t overcrowd the skillet; you may need to cook in batches.
  4. If you prefer less mess or want a hands-free method, you can also bake the meatballs. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), place the meatballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake for around 20 minutes. They’ll still be juicy with a slightly crisp exterior.
