In a large bowl place egg and breadcrumbs  add spices and mix well.  Add remaining ingredients and mix well.  Using an ice cream scoop medium size one to make meatballs and place on prepared cookie sheet.  Place in hot oven and bake for 20 minutes or until golden.


These work very well to make for dinner and double the recipe and create a lunch the next day as well.  You could serve it on a whole wheat pita with a side of sliced peppers.
