Dampen the seed starting mix (use seed starting mix, not potting soil) in planting containers. Put the sprouted seed on top. Use a pencil or other gadget to push the rooted part into the mix. Make sure the root has good contact with the soil and firm the soil slightly with your fingers around the root. Make sure the seed part remains on top of the soil. You can cover very sparingly with mix or not at all. Cover with plastic wrap or place in a zip top bag opened slightly. Now you can place on a heating mat or in a south facing window (or both). Once the seeds get going, place them under lights on a timer. No need for heating mat once they get going.
