MEATBALL-STUFFED GARLIC BREAD SLIDERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and 2 cloves garlic; cook and stir until onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
• Place beef in a large bowl. Add onion-garlic mixture, parsley, egg, bread crumbs, and 1 large handful of fontina cheese, reserving the rest for topping. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Mix by hand until just combined. Scoop meat mixture into 24 mini muffin cups; meatballs need not be perfectly round.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the centers, about 12 minutes. Leave oven on. Let meatballs cool briefly while you make the garlic butter.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add remaining minced garlic once butter starts to bubble; stir, then immediately remove from heat. Stir well and set aside.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil; coat foil with remaining olive oil. Transfer rolls, still attached, to the baking sheet. Cut a hole in the top of each roll, about 2/3 of the way down. Brush garlic butter over the insides and outsides of the rolls.
• Bake until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Pour about 1 tablespoon tomato sauce into each hole. Stuff meatballs into the holes. Top each roll with a spoonful of tomato sauce and remaining fontina cheese. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
• Continue baking until cheese is melted, 12 to 15 minutes. Garnish with more parsley. Let rolls sit for 5 to 10 minutes to firm up; transfer to a serving platter.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180˚C).
• In a medium bowl, mix the ground beef, bread crumbs, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper.
• Pinch off a ball of the mixture, roll between your hands to make ping-pong ball-sized meatballs.
• Cook the meatballs over medium heat, turning to brown each side. Remove from heat and drain on a paper towel.
• Slice the baguette into thirds or fourths (each baguette piece should be roughly the same length of two meatballs).
• Hollow out the insides of the baguette pieces with a knife.
• Lay two slices of mozzarella on top of each other with a 1-inch (2 cm) overlap. Place two meatballs on the overlapping region, then fold the mozzarella tightly around the meatballs.
• Push the rolled meatballs and cheese into a baguette piece.
• Slice the stuffed baguette pieces into 1-inch (2 cm) slices, then place them tightly side-by-side on a baking sheet lined with foil.
• In a small bowl, mix together ingredients for garlic butter.
• Brush the garlic butter evenly over the baguette slices, making sure some drips in between the slices.
• Wrap the foil over the re-assembled baguette and bake for 15-20 minutes, until cheese is melted and the top is starting to brown.
• Remove the foil and serve with marinara.
• Enjoy!
