Recipes with bread / quick bread

Meatballs sandwich (sub) with mozzarella served with fries and tomato sauce for dipping

Meatballs (sub) sandwich with mozzarella

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.
