Baked in the oven lamb meatballs filled with salty feta cheese and olives. Serve with creamy Tzatziki dip, Greek style baked potatoes and a simple salad. I never have left overs. Easy enough to make mid week, delicious enough to serve for guests.

How To Make betty's greek lamb and feta meatballs

  • Step 1
    Pre-heat your oven to 400oF (200oC) and line a LARGE baking sheet (you might need 2).
  • Step 2
    Chop your feta cheese into small-ish dice (I aim for about a small fingernail size). Chop your olives, I chop mine in quarters, but smaller would be fine too.
  • Step 3
    In a bowl combine your minced lamb, olives and cheese. Mix with your hands. Form meatballs the size of a golf ball.
  • Step 4
    Place the meatballs as you make them on the baking trays. Pop into the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Step 5
    That's it! Serve and enjoy.
