In a large Bowl; Toss all 3 meats, herbs, spices, spinach, eggs, cheese and the 1/2 cup of plain old bread crumbs.

Mix with fingertips, do not squash everything together with your hands like your strangeling the life from your mixture. Be gentle. Don't heat up the fats in the meat.

Cover With plastic Wrap and refrigerate for 24 hour to allow the flavors to meld together and chill the mixture all the way through.

Get out your kitchen scale and a mini muffin tin or two, depending on the size. I am in need of an upgrade as mine only make 1 dozen each, so I use 2 tins and make 2 batches.

Turn oven to 400 degrees

Scope out the mixture into 1 1/2 ounce mounds.

Chill again for about 30 minutes.

Remove from the Ice Box and roll each mound into a ball.

Roll each ball in slightly ground Panko breadcrumbs.

Place each ball in the cup of a mini muffin tin, they should be large enough to remain suspended above the bottom of the cup. This allows the excess fat to drain down below.

Place in oven for 15-20 minutes(Electic) 25-30 minutes (Gas) or until, as Alton is so fond of saying, they are G B & D (Golden Brown & Delicious)

Serve as an appetizer, or grab a Hoagie/Grinder/Sub/Hero/Poor Boy roll (SourDough if you can find it), some homemade tomato sauce (See Slow-Cooked Tomato Sauce Base recipe), and some dry Mozzarella or Provolone and have a GREAT Meatball Sandwich!
