Knead the minced meat with the breadcrumbs, egg, and paprika, then season with salt and pepper. Finely chop the herbs and slice the halved spring onions into thin rings. You can vary the herbs depending on what’s available, or you can even use dried herbs in a pinch. Add the herbs and spring onions to the minced meat mixture and mix well. Dice the feta. Form the minced meat into small balls and make small hollows in them. Fill each meatball with a feta cube and cover the hollow with minced meat. Heat a pan with butter until very hot and fry the meatballs until golden brown on all sides. Remove the fat from the pan and serve immediately. Tip: These little balls are great eaten cold or served as a classic finger food. These spicy balls also taste great on the grill!
