Ingredients

  • 400g provolone (one thick disc 2.5cm)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp chilli flakes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Black pepper
  • Crusty bread

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle the cheese with oregano, chilli and pepper; drizzle with oil.
  2. Heat a cast-iron pan very hot.
  3. Place the cheese in; cook 2-3 minutes until the bottom is deep golden and crusted.
  4. Carefully flip; cook another minute — the inside should be soft but not collapsing.
  5. Slide onto a board.
  6. Serve with bread to scoop.

Tara’s tips

  • Use proper aged provolone — not mozzarella.
