Sandwich

Meatballs (sub) sandwich with mozzarella

Meatballs sandwich (sub) with mozzarella served with fries and tomato sauce for dipping
It starts with a mini baguette that’s toasted, split in half and stuffed with meatballs coated generously with tomato sauce. A thick slice of mozzarella is arranged on top of each meatball before the whole package goes into the oven just long enough to melt the cheese and heat the meatballs through. Tiny basil leaves are dropped in before the meatball sandwich is served.
Cook time: 10 minutes minutes
Servings: 3 people

Pepper cheesesteak

Pepper cheesesteak and fries
Beef, cheese and bread make up the most basic cheesesteak sandwich. Onion is optional (we like caramelized onion in our sandwiches). Adding bell pepper makes it a pepper cheesesteak sandwich.
Cook time: 15 minutes minutes
