This recipe makes 8 appetizer-size crostini, serving 4 people (2 crostini per serving).

Either bake the bread slices on a baking sheet at 375°F/190°C)for about 10 minutes, until golden brown, or grill them on an indoor grill pan, flipping both sides.

While the bread toasts, warm the meatballs in a pan with the sauce. Once the bread is ready, remove it from the oven or pan. When the meatballs are heated through, slice them in half.

Place four meatball halves on each toasted bread slice, then top with sauce, cheese, and fresh basil.
