I used an extra delicious, aged, cured hard Spanish cheese from Queso Mahon Menorca that is from the beautiful Island of Menorca Spain.

Mahon Menorca Cheese is available in 3 delicious varieties:

Tender: A soft, yellowish-white colored cheese very little crust. Soft and creamy texture with a milky buttery flavor and an acidulous touch. (21- 60 days).
Semi-Cured: A firm but easy to cut cheese with an ivory color and an orange crust. It has a milky tasty and more developed flavors with a buttery nutty taste. (2-5 months).
Cured: A firm, hard, mature cheese that has a very developed flavor, aroma, and a complex intense aftertaste. Hints of old wood, tanned leather or a wine cellar. A treat for cheese connoisseurs. (more than 5 months).

I was so relieved when I found out that the Mahon Menorca Cheese is available in the USA and can be purchased at these stores and shops:

Fairway, West Side Market, Gourmet Garage, Saveway, Wholefoods, Kroger, Costco, Central Markets, Central and Town & Country Markets.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with tin foil. Set aside.
In a silicone muffin pan or can use a greased muffin tin, add about 2 tablespoon of the grated cheese to the bottom of each cup in the muffin pan.
Bake at 400 F for 10 to 12 minutes or until melted and starting to brown on edges.
Remove muffin tin from oven and set aside to cool and harden into a solid crisp.
In a large mixing bowl combine ground beef, flaxseed meal, tomato sauce, beaten egg, ¼ cup grated cheese, Italian seasonings, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Knead with your hands to mix.
