Ingredients

  • 2 wheels provolone cheese with peel (8-9-oz each)
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, or as much as you need
  • Dry oregano, to taste
  • Sea salt or kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Directions

  •  
    1
    Prepare the grill or oven. If you're using the oven, preheat to 325° F.
  •  
    2
    Place the slices on a tray and cover the cheese in the olive oil on both sides.
  •  
    3
    Sprinkle with dry oregano and place over the grill or in the oven. Roast until each side has browned and it's soft without falling apart (about 2-3 minutes).
  •  
    4
    Season to taste and serve immediately. I like serving it with fresh bread and chimichurri.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    Let the cheese thaw a bit before grilling.
  • tip 2
    If you don't want to use olive oil, sprinkle both sides with flour to prevent it from sticking to the grill or oven.
