Heat grill to 400 degrees F.
Drizzle cheese with a touch of olive oil. Place cheese on the grill for 45 seconds. Flip the cheese and grill for another 45 seconds. Transfer cheese to a small round baking dish. Sprinkle with oregano and crushed red pepper. Serve immediately, using small knives to spread the cheese mixture onto bread slices. Drizzle Chimichurri sauce over.

1/2 cup chopped Italian parsley leaves

Pinch coarse sea salt

In Italy, we also prepared 'Grilled Provolone'; also
Mozzarella; but I prefer my bread grilled. Some people like
to dip their sandwich in egg, then grill it.
In Italy, we call these 'Provolone OR Mozzarella en Carrozza'.
Here in America, Italian Grilled Cheese sandwiches. I like to
have Marinara sauce OR Italian Green Sauce (Salsa Verde OR
a Pesto sauce. Marinated Provolone OR Mozzarella is delicious
served this way!
These sandwiches can be prepared in a Panini press OR on a GF
type of grill! Basil also can be used to season.
