1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt

Method:
Preheat oven to 500*. Combine the meat, crumbs, coconut milk, egg and spices. Mix and shape into balls about the size of large marbles. Arrange on lightly greased foil lined shallow baking pans. Bake for 5 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove from pan and add to desired sauce. Makes about 30.

Notes: These appetizer meatballs are always a favorite, not matter which sauce you choose to serve them in!

**Another option for crumbs is to crush or grind cheese whisps (or crisps) KETO crackers.
