The provoleta is a grilled or baked wheel of cheese that is traditionally served in Argentina. It's a perfect appetizer or snack.

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.
