Breakfast Meatballs are such a fun alternative to boring sausage or bacon for your breakfast or brunch! The perfect combo of savory and sweet, with a little maple syrup to make them extra delicious!
Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated onion
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat lightly with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl combine the sausage, apples, breadcrumbs, cheese, onion, and thyme with a wooden spoon or your hands.
- Form the mixture into golfball-sized meatballs, about 1 1/2- inches in diameter. Place evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
