Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Mix together the room temp butter, garlic, parsley, and a good pinch of salt, pepper, and pepper flakes. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
- Warm up the marinara in a covered pot set to low. Leave covered until needed.
- M E A T B A L L S - Preheat oven to 400 F. Mix all of the ingredients together in a small mixing bowl. Using about 2 Tbsp. of the meat mixture, form in to 8 equal sized meatballs and transfer them to a parchment lined baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Bake 15 - 20 minutes, flipping once or twice as needed until browned and cooked through.
- With 10 minutes remaining on the meatballs, toss your baguette in to the oven for 4 -5 minutes to warm up. Remove and carefully cut in to two equal sized sammies. Slice them open and slather both sides in the garlic butter. Reserve any extra butter for a future use.
- Preheat a grill pan set to just about medium and grill the baguettes butter side down until golden brown and buttery perfection.
- Place the bottoms on a parchment lined baking sheet and arrange 4 meatballs on each bottom baguette. Top with the sliced mozzarella and spoon some of the hot marinara on top. Switch the oven to BROIL 500 F / HIGH and toss them in until the cheese is bubbly and melted. Remove and carefully transfer the bottoms to a cutting board for assembly. Spoon additional sauce over the meatballs and sprinkle on some torn basil and finely shredded grana padano. Pop on the tops of the baguettes.
- S E R V E - Slice them in to 8 equal sized sliders for service, or serve as two stuffed sammies. Serve the sammies with any remaining tomato sauce for dipping. ENJOY!
Notes
- Servings depend on whether you consume as 2 sandwiches, or 8 sliders.
