Spray a large ovenproof skillet with cooking spray and place oven medium-high heat. Add balls and cook until golden brown on at least two sides, a somewhere between 10-30seconds a side (depending on cooking heat). Transfer pan to oven and bake 10 minutes.
I suggest assembling your sandwich with a Pita and some cucumber, lettuce, tomato and tzadzeki sauce--but that's up to you--enjoy!
