Expert tips
- Keep meatballs uniform in size. This ensures even cooking and prevents some from drying out.
- Don’t over mix the meat. It can make the meatballs dense instead of tender.
- Simmer the sauce gently. Low heat helps flavours develop without burning the tomatoes.
- Drain excess oil. It prevents the sandwich from becoming greasy.
- Use freshly grated cheese. It melts better and has a richer taste than pre shredded varieties.
- Toast bread on medium heat. It avoids burning while allowing the cheese to melt fully.
