Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

Mix ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, parsley, salt and pepper in a large bowl until just combined. Don't overmix or your meatballs will be too dense.

Divide mixture into 10 balls and set aside.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.

Fry the meatballs, in batches if necessary, until browned on all sides.

Transfer meatballs to a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until cooked all the way through.

Assemble sliders on the baguette slices as follows: slice of mozzarella, meatball, 1-2 tablespoons of tomato sauce, a generous dusting of parmesan cheese.
