Provoleta

Ingredients

Provolone cheese

1 pound, sliced into thick rounds

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Oregano

1 teaspoon, dried

Red pepper flakes

1/2 teaspoon (adjust to taste)

Fresh parsley

2 tablespoons, chopped

Lemon wedges

for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat a grill or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Brush both sides of the provolone slices with olive oil to ensure even cooking and flavor.
3. Sprinkle oregano and red pepper flakes on one side of each provolone slice, adjusting the amount of red pepper flakes to your desired spice level.
4. Carefully place the provolone slices on the grill or skillet, seasoned side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese starts to melt and develop a golden crust.
5. Using a spatula, carefully flip the provoleta slices and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until the cheese is fully melted and has a beautiful golden color.
6. Remove from heat, and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
7. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side, allowing guests to squeeze fresh lemon juice over the cheese for added brightness and acidity.
