Elevate your sandwich game with the irresistible Italian Pattie Sandwich, a hearty recipe that packs bold Italian flavors into every bite. Juicy, well-seasoned beef patties are made with Italian breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and aromatic herbs like oregano and basil, creating a tender yet flavorful base. Topped with ooey-gooey melted mozzarella and nestled in toasted ciabatta rolls, these patties are layered with rich marinara sauce and fresh basil leaves for a satisfying combination of savory, cheesy, and zesty notes. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a crowd-pleasing game-day treat, this sandwich is easy to prepare in just 35 minutes and offers an authentic Italian twist to your usual burger routine. Serve with extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping, and enjoy an explosion of classic Italian goodness in sandwich form!
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.
Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about the size of your ciabatta rolls.
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.
While the patties cook, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Slice the ciabatta rolls in half horizontally and lightly toast them, if desired.
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.
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.
Serve the Italian Pattie Sandwiches warm with a side of extra marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
