Making The Meat Patties

  • Use a medium bowl and soak the bread roll in water. Once soaked, squeeze out the excess water.
  • Use a separate large bowl and whisk the egg with a fork. Add ground beef, chopped onions, Worcestershire sauce, ground mustard, sweet smoked paprika, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  • Knead the softened bread roll with the meat mixture. If the mixture is too wet, add a few breadcrumbs. Shaped the meat mixture into balls and flatten to get a disc shape.
  • Cover the meat patties with the breadcrumbs.

Cooking The Frikadellen

  • Heat oil over medium-high heat in a medium non-stick frying pan.
  • Brown the meat patties on each side. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 10-12 minutes until the meat has cooked through. Remove the meatballs and drain the excess fat on a paper towel.
  • See post for serving suggestions.
