Thanksgiving Stuffing Balls

Makes about a dozen stuffing balls  

Ingredients:

• 2 large eggs, beaten
• ½ cup panko bread crumbs
• 1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan 
• Oil for hands
• 1 cup leftover stuffing, slightly warmed in a microwave
• 1/3 cup sour cream
• 1 to 2 tablespoons sriracha—​I just don’t know how spicy you like it

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Put the eggs in one bowl and the panko and Parm in another.
3. Very lightly oil your hands.
4. Take about 1 ½ tablespoons of warmed stuffing and roll it into a tight little ball. Repeat until all the balls are formed.
5. Roll the balls through the beaten egg, then through the panko mixture, coating well, and place on an ungreased baking sheet. 
6. Bake until golden and crispy, 20 to 25 minutes.
7. Combine the sour cream and sriracha in a small bowl. Mix well and serve alongside the balls.
