Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese

    Cut the provolone cheese into a thick round slice, about 1 inch thick. If available, use a cast iron skillet or a grilling pan for better heat retention.

  2. 2

    Season the Cheese

    Drizzle the slice of provolone cheese with olive oil, then sprinkle oregano and red chili flakes evenly on top. Add salt to taste.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Grill the Provolone

    Place the seasoned provolone cheese directly on the grill or in the skillet. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and has a nice golden color.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Carefully remove the grilled provolone from the heat and transfer it to a serving plate. Serve immediately while hot, garnished with extra oregano and chili flakes if desired.
