Ingredients
- 2 pieces provolone cheese (about 1 1/2-pounds total)
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
- 5 to 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon freshly minced parsley leaves
- Grey salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Prepare a charcoal or gas grill.
Rub the pieces of provolone all over with the olive oil and season with the rest of the ingredients. Let marinate refrigerated for 1 hour. Grill the cheese on the hot grill over moderately-high heat for about 2 minutes per side until grill marks appear and the cheese just begins to soften.
Transfer the cheese to a metal plate or baking dish on top of the grill. Cook until the cheese just barely starts to melt and begins to brown on the bottom, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Serve hot with crusty bread or grilled bread slices.

This has become our absolute first choice when we want to wow our friends! However, we made quite a mess when we actually tried it directly on the grill. So, now we marinate a 3/4" round of provolone overnight in a generous amt of olive oil, garlic and lots of fresh herbs--anything goes. Then we just dump the cheese, oil and all, into a 6" cast iron skillet. We then grill it until the cheese is bubbly and the edges begin to brown. Serve right in the skillet, with bagette toasts rubbed with a garlic clove. Rustic, simple and delicious! Thank you, Michael!

Made this yesterday from memory and couldn't remember the exact marinade so I ended up using basil along with the rest of the ingredients - it was fabulous. I also couldn't get any good quality provolone, so I did two batches - one with Asiago and one with aged white cheddar. Both were big hits. Can't wait to experiment with other cheeses too!
