  • Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 6 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
  • Fill the rolls: Add a small amount of tomato sauce to the center of each roll. Place a small piece of mozzarella cheese in each roll, followed by a cooked meatball. Add another slice of cheese. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake again: Bake for another 6-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.(checking frequently)
  • Serve: Let the sliders cool slightly before garnishing with parsley and serving.
