Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground pork, turkey, or chicken
  • 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Ground Ginger
  • 1 Tbsp Honey
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Pepper
  • 1 pinch Nutmeg
  • 1 pinch Ground Cloves
  • 6 medium Boiled Eggs Deshelled
  • 1/2 cup Flour
  • 2 medium Eggs
  • 1 cup Crushed Gingersnap Cookies

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

  2. Put meat and seasonings in a bowl.  Mix well.

  3. Divide meat into six equal portions (just under 1/3 cup each) and roll into balls.  Flatten balls into patties.

  4. Lightly coat boiled eggs in flour and put one egg in the center of each meat patty.  Gently wrap the meat around the egg, making sure it is completely covered.

  5. Beat remaining eggs.  Dredge balls in egg, then coat with cookie crumbs.

  6. Place balls on parchment-covered baking sheet.

  7. Bake for 25 minutes.  Allow to cool.

  8. If frying, heat deep fryer or two inches of oil in a pan and fry for 5-8 minutes until browned.

  9. For Paleo, skip coating eggs with flour, and dredging in eggs and crumbs.
