Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 baguette
1 lb ground beef
¼ cup bread crumbs
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
½ tablespoon salt
½ tablespoon pepper
1 egg
10 slices mozzarella cheese
marinara sauce
3 tablespoons butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180˚C).
  • In a medium bowl, mix the ground beef, bread crumbs, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper.
  • Pinch off a ball of the mixture, roll between your hands to make ping-pong ball-sized meatballs.
  • Cook the meatballs over medium heat, turning to brown each side. Remove from heat and drain on a paper towel.
  • Slice the baguette into thirds or fourths (each baguette piece should be roughly the same length of two meatballs).
  • Hollow out the insides of the baguette pieces with a knife.
  • Lay two slices of mozzarella on top of each other with a 1-inch (2 cm) overlap. Place two meatballs on the overlapping region, then fold the mozzarella tightly around the meatballs.
  • Push the rolled meatballs and cheese into a baguette piece.
  • Slice the stuffed baguette pieces into 1-inch (2 cm) slices, then place them tightly side-by-side on a baking sheet lined with foil.
  • In a small bowl, mix together ingredients for garlic butter.
  • Brush the garlic butter evenly over the baguette slices, making sure some drips in between the slices.
  • Wrap the foil over the re-assembled baguette and bake for 15-20 minutes, until cheese is melted and the top is starting to brown.
  • Remove the foil and serve with marinara.
  • Enjoy!
