Toasted Baguette with Melted Mozzarella and Meatballs in Marinara
Ingredients:
• 1 baguette, sliced in half lengthwise
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 lb. meatballs (homemade or store-bought)
• 2 cups marinara sauce
• Olive oil
• Fresh basil, for garnish (optional)
Directions:
Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the baguette halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Drizzle lightly with olive oil.
Step 2:
Bake the baguette halves in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden and toasted.
Step 3:
While the baguette is toasting, heat the marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the meatballs to the sauce and simmer until they are heated through, about 10 minutes.
Step 4:
Once the baguette is toasted, remove it from the oven and sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over both halves. Return the baguette to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 5:
Remove the baguette from the oven and spoon the meatballs and marinara sauce evenly over the bottom half of the baguette.
Step 6:
Sprinkle more shredded mozzarella over the meatballs, then place the top half of the baguette back on top. Bake in the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and gooey.
Step 7:
Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and garnish with fresh basil if desired. Slice the baguette into individual servings.
Step 8:
Enjoy your Ultimate Meatball Mozzarella Baguette!
