Meatball Sub Bites

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°, and line a baking sheet with parchment. In a medium bowl, beat egg to blend. Add beef, onion, Provolone, garlic, parsley, bread crumbs, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup Parmesan and gently stir until combined.
2. Using a 1 1/2-tablespoon cookie scoop or measuring spoon, portion out 1-ounce balls of beef mixture. Working one at a time, flatten with the heel of your palm, place the mozzarella ball in the center, and enclose the beef mixture around the mozzarella. Arrange meatballs on the prepared pan.
3. Bake meatballs 10 minutes. Transfer meatballs to a plate and let cool. Replace parchment, and increase oven temperature to 425°,. Divide dough into 24 (1/2-ounce) portions. Flatten each with the palm of your hand, then place a meatball in the center. Enclose the dough around the meatball and transfer it to prepared sheet.
4. Brush the tops of the dough with olive oil. Sprinkle each with a pinch of remaining Parmesan. Bake the sub bites until dough is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly.
