Provoleta
Grilled Provolone
A classic Argentine starter, Provoleta is a thick slice of provolone cheese grilled until golden brown and bubbly, then seasoned with oregano and chili flakes. Perfect for sharing as an appetizer before a barbecue (asado).
🧂 مكونات
- 400 g Provolone cheese(Use a thick-cut, firm provolone cheese. If available, a provolone piccante (sharp provolone) will offer more flavor.)
- 1 tsp Dried oregano(Fresh oregano can be used if available, but dried offers a more concentrated flavor for this dish.)
- 1/2 tsp Red pepper flakes(Adjust to your spice preference. For a milder flavor, reduce or omit. For more heat, add more.)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil(For greasing the grill or pan, and optionally for drizzling over the finished cheese.)

Prepare your heat source. If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat (around 200-230°C / 400-450°F). If using a cast-iron skillet or grill pan on the stovetop, heat it over medium-high heat.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
Lightly brush the grill grates or the cast-iron skillet with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the thick slice of provolone cheese directly onto the hot grill or into the skillet.
⏱️ 1 minute - 3
Grill the cheese for approximately 4-5 minutes per side. You are looking for it to develop a beautiful golden-brown crust and become soft and gooey in the center. The edges should start to bubble and slightly char. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
⏱️ 8-10 minutes - 4
Once the cheese is melted and nicely browned on both sides, carefully remove it from the heat. Sprinkle generously with dried oregano and red pepper flakes. You can optionally drizzle a little more olive oil over the top.
⏱️ 1 minute - 5
Serve the Provoleta immediately, directly from the grill or skillet, while it is hot and molten. It's traditionally served with crusty bread for dipping into the melted cheese.
