Grilled Provoleta Cheese | Quick Grill Appetizer

Preparation

• 1
  Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If you don't have a grill, you can also use a cast iron skillet or a grill pan on the stovetop.
• 2
  Cut the Provolone cheese into thick slices, about 1.5-2 cm. The thickness is important so that the cheese retains its shape during grilling and doesn't melt too quickly.
• 3
  Lightly brush both sides of the cheese slices with olive oil. This prevents sticking and gives the cheese a beautiful golden-brown color. Sprinkle the slices with dried oregano, chili flakes, and freshly ground black pepper.
• 4
  Make small incisions on the surface of the cheese with a sharp knife, and insert the thinly sliced garlic into these gaps. This way, the cheese will absorb the magnificent aroma of the garlic during grilling.
• 5
  Place the seasoned cheese slices directly on the grill or in the hot grill pan. Grill for about 2-3 minutes per side until nice grill marks appear and the edges of the cheese begin to melt slightly.
• 6
  Once the Provoleta has a golden-brown crust, remove it from the grill and serve immediately. Offer fresh, crispy baguette slices for dipping.
