Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a wire rack with nonstick spray and set it over a rimmed baking sheet.
2. In a large bowl, combine the torn white bread and the 1/4 cup milk and let sit about 1 minute, until the milk is absorbed. Add the beaten egg, the 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, the minced garlic clove, 2 teaspoons oregano, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a quarter of the ground beef, and mix until fully combined. Add the rest of the ground beef and mix just until blended.
3. Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions. Flatten each into a circle, add a heaping tablespoon of the crumbled feta in the middle, fold the edges around the feta and roll into a ball.
4. Place the meatballs on the prepared rack and bake 15-20 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
5. For the tzatziki: squeeze as much moisture as possible from the grated Persian cucumbers using a kitchen towel. Put them in a medium bowl, then add the 1 cup Greek yogurt, the second minced garlic clove, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint and 3/4 teaspoon salt, and stir to combine.
6. Serve the meatballs with the tzatziki, topped with extra finely chopped mint.
