- Preheat the Oven:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare the Baking Tray:
- Take a baking tray and prepare it by spraying it with nonstick spray to ensure your Meatball Boats won’t stick.
- Mix the Meatball Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the minced meat, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic, clean chopped parsley, and a cup of cheese. Use your hands to thoroughly mix the ingredients together.
- Season to Perfection:
- Add salt and pepper to the mixture, seasoning it to your taste preferences.
- Form the Meatballs:
- Using an ice cream scoop, form the mixture into meatballs and place them on a separate plate.
- Cook the Meatballs:
- Heat a skillet with a teaspoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the meatballs one at a time to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they are nicely browned on all sides.
- Bake the Meatballs:
- Transfer the meatballs to an oven tray covered with aluminum foil and bake them in the preheated oven for 12 minutes.
- Prepare the Rolls:
- While the meatballs are baking, cut an oval on top of each mini Huji roll, leaving about an inch at the ends and sides. Hollow out the lower half of each roll, creating a boat-like shape.
- Add Cheese and Bake:
- Place a slice of Asiago cheese inside each roll’s hollowed-out area and return them to the oven for another 8 minutes.
- Assemble the Meatball Boats:
- Once the rolls are golden and the cheese is melty, remove them from the oven.
- Spoon 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce over the cheese inside each roll.
- Place three meatballs on top of the marinara sauce in each roll.
- Final Touches:
- Add more marinara sauce over the meatballs and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.
- Bake Again:
- Return the Meatball Boats to the oven and bake for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Preheat the Oven:
