Cheese Recipe 19: Meatball and Mozzarella Sandwich

This recipe will make one sandwich.


Ingredients:

2 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, thin deli-sliced


1 six inch long hoagie roll


¼ cup basic tomato sauce or spaghetti sauce


3 Italian Meatballs

Method:

Heat the oven, setting on broiler to low and place a rack in the middle. Warm the meatballs and the sauce up in a covered microwavable dish or on the stove top. Cut a notch the shape of a V, about 1 inch wide into the top of the hoagie roll, it can be discarded. Some of the roll's interior will need to be removed to form a pocket for the meatballs. Arrange the meatballs into the roll, cover with the sauce and then the mozzarella cheese. Place these on a foil lined baking sheet. Place this under the broiler until the cheese is melted, frothy and brown. Bread should be toasty, it will take about 3-4 minutes.
