¼ cup
fresh parsley, plus 2 tablespoons, chopped, divided (10 g)

Preparation

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, bread crumbs, ¼ cup (10 g) parsley, 3 cloves garlic, salt, and pepper.
Shape the ground beef mixture into golf ball-sized balls.
Heat a cast-iron pan or skillet with oil over medium-high heat.
Cook the meatballs until browned on all sides. Transfer meatballs to a plate then remove pan from heat.
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
Place the soft rolls in a baking sheet.
Cut the top of the rolls with a knife and press the inside down to create a boat.
Mix together the melted butter, 3 cloves garlic, and 2 tablespoons of parsley.
Brush the rolls with the garlic butter.
Bake for 5 minutes, or until toasted.
Place two slices of mozzarella in the rolls. Place a spoonful of marinara on top of the cheese.
Place three meatballs in the boat and top with more marinara.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
Top with Parmesan.
Enjoy!

All I could taste was breadcrumbs. Don’t add as much as the recipe says.

Get the bread ready and then make the meatballs at the same time.

I used frozen meatballs to cut down time for a quick lunch with fresh mozzarella.. it was amazing. Everybody loved them and I did make them again ❤️

Doesn’t look super appetizing in my picture but it was actually delicious, the meatballs need to be cooked a bit longer than the recipe calls for or they will be red in the center
