Tips

Bocconcini are small mozzarella cheese balls. They come in different sizes and are delicious in salads. For this recipe, look for pre-sliced bocconcini (sometimes called medallion slices).

For a warm sandwich, simply microwave prepared sandwich until warmed through. Alternatively, warm sliced meatloaf in a pan on the stovetop.
