  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (or 1 tablespoon dried chives)

  4. Shape and Bake: Shape a tablespoon of the mixture into small balls, place them on the baking sheet, and bake for 15-18 minutes until golden.
