1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 Tbsp oregano

dash apple cider vinegar

Notes
If you have bread but not breadcrumbs, I usually pop it in the oven on 250 for a while until it is dry. Then I run it in the Cuisinart or the blender to crush - you cold also hand crush it.
Substitutions
The oregano can be replaced with any other safe herb you can have.
Select breadcrumbs or cereal appropriate for your allergy set. Gluten-free crumbs or cereal will work fine.

I didn't have any gluten free bread crumbs or cereal that could work but added 1 TBSP ground flax with 2.5 TBSP water that sat until a bit thicker. Added Italian seasoning instead of oregano. Everyone enjoyed these.
Glad they were a hit! Great idea to use flax as a binder.
These meatballs were good. Thanks Lisa for the flax idea. My kids are allergic to wheat and eggs among many other things) but the 1 tbsp. of flax with water binded the meatballs well. I also used Italian seasoning. Good recipe...will make again.
Awesome that the flax worked for you Stephanie! I would never have though to use flax as the binder to replace the breadcrumbs. I've only used it to replace egg in things.
