Serves: 2-3
Prep & Cook Time: Approx. 15–20 minutes
  • 1 pack (500g) Jack’s Gourmet N.Z. Grass-Fed Tomato Beef Meatballs
  • 8 slices sandwich or sourdough bread 
  • 8 slices mozzarella cheese, or about 150g shredded mozzarella 
  • 2 tbsp butter, softened 
  • Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional) 
  • Mixed salad leaves, to serve (optional) 
  1. Heat the meatballs
    Prepare the Jack’s Gourmet N.Z. Grass-Fed Tomato Beef Meatballs according to the pack instructions until thoroughly heated. 
  2. Prepare the bread
    Lightly butter one side of each slice of bread. Place 4 slices butter-side down on a clean surface. 
  3. Assemble the toasties
    Spoon the meatballs and some of the tomato sauce onto each slice of bread. Depending on their size, you can halve the meatballs to make the sandwiches easier to eat. Top generously with mozzarella cheese. 
  4. Make the sandwiches
    Cover with the remaining bread slices, keeping the buttered sides facing out. 
  5. Toast until golden
    Cook in a sandwich press or frying pan over medium heat for about 3–4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden and crisp and the cheese has melted. 
  6. Serve
    Cut each toastie in half and serve hot. Garnish with parsley and serve with a simple side salad if desired.
