Ingredients
Method
In small bowl, mix 1/4 cup (50 mL) of the Parmesan cheese with parsley; set aside. In bowl, mix remaining Parmesan cheese, beef, tomato paste, vinegar, egg yolk, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Shape by rounded teaspoonfuls (5 mL) into balls; roll in cheese mixture to coat. Place on foil-lined rimmed baking sheet.
Bake in 375°F (190°C) oven until no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes. Broil until golden, about 90 seconds. (Make-ahead: Let cool. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Or freeze in layers separated by waxed paper in airtight container for up to 3 weeks; thaw in refrigerator. Reheat before serving.)
