Provoletta (Low Carb, High Protein)

½ lb Provolne chese

Olive oil, to coat

Oregano or Marjoram or Sage, to taste

Pepper, to taste

 

Directions

 

Slice the cheese into 2" thick pieces (or thinner if using aged provolone).

 

Brush cheese with olive oil so spices stick to outside; sprinkle with spices.

 

Grill about 6" from heat source on the grill or in the broiler, until the outside crisps, the cheese turns golden brown and just starts to run (Do NOT overcook or you will have a puddle); this can also be done in a cast iron skillet over high heat so the outside crisps before the middle starts to spread all over the pan (spray pan with cooking spray first and keep scooting the cheese around the pan while it's cooking so it doesn't stick).

Serve right away (it gets hard if you let it cool down and doesn't reheat very well) on small plates with a fork and knife
 

Sometimes you just put one foot in front of the other, even if you don't know where you're going.

What an interesting adaptation of regular cheese, which I am starting to get sick of.  I'll be trying this tomorrow, thanks!

I cook up provolone in a non-stick pan like this regularly.  Actually, with the pan you don't even need any olive oil since there's oil in the melting cheese.  Often, i toss in other kinds of grated cheese, like sharp cheddar, and sometimes parmesean.

When the cheese is firmed up and golden on both sides, i lay it on a silpat to cool off a bit, and then slice it into strips.  I love it just by itself as a snack, but it's best on toast w light mayo, some toasted pine nuts, tomato and lettuce.
