Cooking Steps

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. In a medium bowl, combine beef mince, the egg, fine breadcrumbs and Aussie spice blend. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of beef mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). • Transfer meatballs to a medium baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and turn to coat. • Bake until browned, 15-20 minutes.

• Meanwhile, cut bake-at-home ciabatta into slices. • Thinly slice pear into wedges. • In a small heatproof bowl, combine garlic paste and the butter. • Microwave in 10 second bursts or until melted. Season with salt and pepper.

Finish the meatballs & toast the dippers

• When meatballs have finished baking, remove from oven, and add passata, garlic & herb seasoning, the brown sugar and water, stirring to combine. • Turn the meatballs to coat, sprinkle over shredded Cheddar cheese, then bake until sauce is slightly thickened and cheese is melted, 8-10 minutes. • Meanwhile, brush garlic butter over cut sides of ciabatta slices. • Bake ciabatta on a wire rack until golden, 5-7 minutes.

TIP: For best results, drain the oil from the baking dish before adding the sauce.

• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine pear, mixed salad leaves, a drizzle of the white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season. • Divide cheesy beef meatballs and tomato sauce, garlic dippers and pear salad between plates. Tear over parsley to serve. Enjoy!
