Instructions:
- In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, garlic, onions, breadcrumbs, eggs, basil, salt, and pepper until combined. Form into 12 even balls, and flatten. Add the mozzarella and provolone, and roll back into a ball, covering the cheese completely.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat, add the meatballs, and gently sear on all sides. Pour in the marinara sauce, and cover. Cook for 10–12 minutes or until meatballs are cooked completely.
- Preheat a grill or a stove-top griddle to medium-high heat. Brush the sub roll slices with oil, and grill until slightly charred.
- Serve each meatball on a toast, and top with shredded parmesan cheese and chopped basil.
