Prepare the Cheese Mixture

Whip the Feta
In a food processor, combine the feta cheese, mozzarella cheese, provolone cheese, and a drizzle of olive oil. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more olive oil until desired consistency is reached.

Grate Grana Padano
Grate the Grana Padano cheese using a microplane or fine grater and set aside for garnish.
