Ingredients

• Meatballs
• Bread
• Cheeses
• Butter
• Basil
• Marinara

Instructions

Heat up meatballs.

Butter the outsides of the bread.

Layer all the ingredients and cook in a skillet.

Tip: To get your bread all golden and perfect, brush on the melted butter.  I used to just spread butter on the bread but it always comes out all uneven.  I find the melted butter is the way to go.

Variations

Meatballs - leftover meatballs, turkey meatballs, pre-cooked chicken meatballs

Cheese - any type of good melting cheese will work, fontina would be a good choice
