Sure! It's the first time I'm trying it; it'll be a bit of a mix between my own recipe and a recipe from Emeril's cookbook. I'm not going to make as much, and I may leave out a couple of things because DH doesn't like them.

Here's Emeril's recipe:
*Makes about 36 appetizer pies
Ingredients for pies:

1 1/2 lbs. veal
3/4 cup fine dried bread crumbs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons buttermilk
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flames
1 tablespoon Creole seasoning
1/2 cup flour
vegetable oil

Ingredients for sauce:
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup finely chopped yellow onions
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 anchovy fillets, minced
1/2 cup chopped lack olives
3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
16 ounces crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
salt
freshly ground black pepper

Meat pies:
1. Place the veal, 1/4 cup of bread crumbs, the cilantro, parsley, buttermilk, 1 egg, the garlic, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes in a large bowl and mix quickly but thoroughly. Form the mixture into meatballs the size of a large walnut, about 2 tablespoons each.

2. Beat the remaining egg with 2 tablespoons water and 1 teaspoon of the Creole seasoning in a shallow bowl. Combine and the flour and 1 teaspoon of the Creole in a shallow bowl. Combine the remaining bread crumbs with the remaining 1 teaspoon Creole in another shallow bowl.

3. Dip each meat pie first into the seasoned flour, then into the egg wash, letting the excess drip off, and finally into the bread crumbs, coating evenly. Flatten each ball slightly to form a patty and place on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to cook. The balls may be made ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator for up to 5 hours.

4. Add enough oil to come 1/2 inch up the sides of a large heavy skillet and heat over high heat until very hot. In batches, fry the meat patties in the oil until deep golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Using a slotted spatula, transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve hot with the sauce.

Sauce:

1. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium high heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the anchovy fillets, olives, and crushed red pepper flakes and cook, stirring often, until the anchovies dissolve, about 2 minutes.

2. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, and 1/4 cup water. Stir well. Summer, uncovered, until the sauce has thickened, about 20 minutes.

3. Add the parsley and cilantro, and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.

I'm just going to serve this over the egg noodles-that's my own addition.
