Meatball Eggplant Pesto Sub



This was pretty amazing. Not sure why I haven't done it before.

Ingredients:
  • 3 frozen turkey meatballs, sliced in thirds
  • 3 small pieces of frozen breaded eggplant
  • slices of fresh mozzerella
  • 2 dollops of ricotta cheese
  • Sprinkle of parmesan cheese
  • 1-2 T pesto sauce
  • 3 T tomato sauce
  • 1 sub roll

Directions:
  • Pre-heat toaster oven to about 425
  • In a small bowl, heat frozen turkey meatballs in microwave on high for 1 min
  • Cut the meatballs in thirds, add tomato sauce, stir, and heat again on high for another 30 seconds; set aside
  • Put about 3 small pieces of frozen breaded eggplant on a lightly oiled baking sheet then into the toaster oven for about 8-10 minutes (or until crispy)
  • Slice fresh mozzarella
  • Open up the roll, add the meatballs and eggplant, layering with mozzarella cheese
  • Pre-heat a george foreman (if you have one...which I highly recommend)
  • Add dollops of ricotta cheese and spread. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese
  • On opposite side of roll, spread pesto
  • Put together the half of the subs, then cut in half
  • Put halves into george foreman and close as much as possible; heat for about 30 seconds-1 min or until toasted

The end. If you don't have a george foreman, it's not the end of the world, but it does make the sub more panini-like and also easier to eat (since it's thinner and you just stacked this thing up)
