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.

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