Notes

For optimal flavor, make sure not to overmix the meatball mixture as this can lead to dense meatballs. Additionally, using fresh herbs and good quality feta cheese will enhance the dish's taste. You can serve these meatballs with a side of tzatziki sauce or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
