Minced meat skewers are a quick and delicious second course, ideal for a dinner with family or friends.

The preparation of the dough is similar to the one of meatballs; we will thus mix the minced meat with breadcrumbs, parmesan, egg and add a little milk. The dough will then be spread on the parchment paper, stuffed with ham and cheese and rolled up. From the roll we will obtain slices to insert on the toothpicks. The skewers will then be decorated with chopped almonds and cooked in the oven.
Once ready, you can serve them with a simple mixed salad or with baked potatoes. Accompany the minced meat skewers also with mayonnaise, ketchup or barbecue sauce, to make them even more delicious.
You can replace the ham with mortadella or raw ham, or bacon and then use the soft cheese you prefer.

450 g ground beef meat
