Ingredients:
I used eight mini hoagie rolls for this recipe.
12 asiago cheese slices
Ground beef, 470 grams
2 CUP SAUCE (MARINARA)
An extra-large egg.
a quarter cup of parmesan cheese
1 big spoon garlic, minced
1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 heaping spoon of fresh parsley, chopped
Season with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.
DIRECTIONS:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F and coat the bottom and sides of a medium baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2: I put the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, parmesan cheese, and parsley in a mixing bowl and mixed everything with my hands.
Step 3: After that, I seasoned the meatballs with sea salt and black pepper and began shaping them with an ice cream scoop.
Step 4: Next, I heated olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat for no more than one minute.
Step 5: Next, I placed the meatballs in the skillet one by one and cooked them for a maximum of 5 minutes until both sides were browned.
Step 6: After that, I moved the meatballs to the prepared pan, which had been lined with parchment paper, and roasted them for about 12 minutes.
Step 7: I cut an oval on the top of the roll, leaving about 12 inches on the ends and sides. I scooped the bottom half of the roll but didn’t cut into it.
Step 8: Using a knife, I hollowed out the end of the roll and placed it on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 9: I inserted 1 piece of cheese into the hollowed-out position at this stage. In the microwave, I cooked for another 8 minutes.
Step 10: I then put two big spoons into the mixture. On top of the cheese, there’s a layer of marinara sauce. I then put grated parmesan cheese on top of the marinara.
Step 11: I then put it back in the oven for another 8 minutes to bake.
