Provoleta is a delicious Argentinean dish that is perfect for cheese lovers! It's a mouthwatering grilled provolone cheese that is typically served as an appetizer or side dish. The cheese is melted until it becomes gooey and slightly golden on the outside, creating a wonderful combination of creamy and smoky flavors. It's often served with a sprinkle of herbs and a drizzle of olive oil, which adds a delightful touch.
Slice the Provolone cheese into thick slices, about 1/2 to 1 inch thick, depending on your preference.
Lightly brush both sides of each cheese slice with olive oil.
Place the cheese slices directly on the grill or skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese starts to melt and develop a golden crust.
Sprinkle some dried oregano or your favorite herbs on top of the melting cheese. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a bit of spice.
If desired, you can place a few slices of tomato on top of the cheese during the last minute of grilling for added flavor and freshness.
Once the cheese is melted and has a nice golden crust, carefully remove it from the grill or skillet and transfer it to a serving plate.
Serve the Provoleta hot, along with some crusty bread or a side salad.
