Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
4 anchovy fillets, drained, chopped
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon minced lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper flakes

1 cup grated Provolone

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
