👨‍🍳 Instruktioner

1
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.

💡 Proffstips

✓Provoleta is best enjoyed immediately after cooking, as the cheese will firm up as it cools.
✓The high heat creates a delicious crispy crust on the outside while keeping the inside wonderfully molten.
✓This dish is a quintessential first course for an Argentine asado (barbecue), setting the stage for the grilled meats to come.
