Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground beef
• 100 grams Italian breadcrumbs
• 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 large Egg
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 6 slices Mozzarella cheese, sliced
• 6 pieces Ciabatta rolls
• 300 milliliters Marinara sauce
• 12 leaves Fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, Italian breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about the size of your ciabatta rolls.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and browned.

Step 4

While the patties cook, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.

Step 5

Slice the ciabatta rolls in half horizontally and lightly toast them, if desired.

Step 6

Once the patties are cooked, place a slice of mozzarella cheese on top of each patty while still in the skillet. Cover the skillet for 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.

Step 7

To assemble the sandwiches, spread a spoonful of warm marinara sauce on the bottom half of each ciabatta roll. Place a cheesy patty on top, then add two fresh basil leaves. Spread more marinara sauce on the top half of the roll, and place it on the sandwich.

Step 8

Serve the Italian Pattie Sandwiches warm with a side of extra marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
