¼ cup whole milk
1 large egg
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 tsp dried oregano
Ingredient note
Herbs and spices can carry nickel, so a low nickel diet limits them, but the small amount of oregano used to season this recipe is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid oregano, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp olive oil

For the sauce

2 cups marinara sauce

For assembly

12 gluten free slider buns
6 slices provolone cheese, halved
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
¼ tsp garlic powder

For serving

fresh basil leaves (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, combine the gluten free breadcrumbs and milk and let sit for 2 minutes until the breadcrumbs absorb the milk.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, soaked breadcrumb mixture, egg, parsley, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and Parmesan. Mix with your hands until just combined — do not overwork the mixture.
