Instructions
Creating these mouthwatering bites is simpler than you might think. Follow these easy steps to achieve gooey and golden perfection:
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Take the provolone slices out of the fridge and allow them to come to room temperature.
- If using, mix your choice of herbs and spices with olive oil.
- Preheat the Grill or Pan:
- Heat your grill or non-stick pan over medium heat. Brush lightly with olive oil.
- Season the Cheese:
- Lightly brush each provolone slice with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any additional herbs or spices you desire.
- Grill the Provolone:
- Place the provolone slices on the grill or in the pan.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the cheese becomes golden and gooey. Be sure to watch closely to prevent burning.
- Cool Slightly and Serve:
- Remove the grilled cheese from heat and let it cool slightly on a plate before serving. This will help the cheese firm up a bit while retaining its gooey texture.
