Breakfast Meatballs

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 teaspoon ground sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper (I did big coarse grinds)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup jelly of choice

Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees and cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil sprayed with no stick spray.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, mix all the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Scoop into 1 teaspoon balls.

  4. 4

    Place on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd.

  5. 5

    Bake for 8 minutes. Check temperature of meatball (160 degrees) to make sure it is cooked thoroughly. If they are not up to temperature, continue to cook in minute intervals. Do not overcook.

  6. 6

    While the meatballs are cooking, make the sauce by heating up the jelly until it has dissolved over medium/low heat. Add the maple syrup and set aside.

  7. 7

    Place the jelly mixture in a bowl and toss with the hot meatballs.

  8. 8

    Serve with the extra sauce in the bowl. It is outstanding drizzled over toast or waffles!
