Apple and Bacon Stuffing Balls

• 125 g fresh white breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• 100 g lardons
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 large apple
• 2 garlic cloves
• 12 teaspoon thyme
• 12 teaspoon rosemary
• salt and pepper

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
2. Beat the egg.
3. Dice the apple into small pieces.
4. Crush the garlic in a pan.
5. Cook the bacon bits with the garlic - there is no need to use oil because lardons release a lot of fat.
6. Remove the lardons from the pan and swab with a kitchen towel to remove the excess fat.
7. Remove the fat from the pan (hint: use a kitchen towel) and in the same pan melt the butter.
8. Soften the apple in the butter.
9. Mix all of the ingredients together.
10. Form the stuffing into golf-ball size balls and bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until brown and crispy.
