  • 60 mL (¼ cup) ketchup
  • 45 mL (3 tbsp.) panko breadcrumbs
  • 30 mL (2 tablespoons) finely chopped red onion
  • 30 mL (2 tablespoons) finely chopped green onion
  • 15 mL (1 tbsp.) chopped garlic
  • 7 cherry tomatoes, halved

Preparation

  1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except butter, grilling cheese and barbecue sauce.
  2. Shape mixture into 20 meatballs.
  3. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook meatballs on all sides for about 15 minutes, until the inside of the meatballs has lost its pink color. Set aside on a plate.
  4. In the same skillet, grill the slices of grilled cheese for about 2 minutes on each side over medium-high heat. Keep an eye on the cooking process to prevent the cheese from burning.
  5. Place four meatballs and three cheese cubes on each skewer, alternating them.
