Instructions

  1. Dry the provolone cheese on a counter for several hours until a skin forms.

  2. Prepare chimichurri by pulsing garlic, parsley, oregano, oil, vinegar, salt, and red pepper in a food processor until coarse, then set aside.

  3. Preheat a charcoal grill and heat a small cast-iron pan on it.

  4. Grill the dried side of the cheese until crisp and lightly browned, then transfer it to the hot cast-iron pan to melt further on the grill.

  5. Lightly oil bread and quickly grill both sides until toasted.

  6. Serve the melted cheese immediately with the prepared chimichurri and grilled bread.
