- 1 egg
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the ground beef or lamb with almond flour, crumbled feta cheese, egg, dried oregano, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until the mixture is evenly blended and holds together well.
- Form Meatballs: Shape the mixture into evenly sized meatballs, ensuring they are compact to help maintain their shape during cooking.
