Number Of Ingredients 4

Slice of Provolone Cheese (unsmoked: mild is more traditional, but I prefer sharp), about 1/2 inch thick
Neutral-flavored oil (vegetable, sunflower)
Flour
Oregano and Crushed Red Pepper

Steps:

  • Remove provolone from package and dust in flour
  • Leave cheese, unwrapped, in refrigerator 30-60 minutes so that it can form a thin crust
  • Heat oil over medium-high heat for about 45 seconds, then place cheese into oil
  • Fry for about 1 minute, then flip.
  • Cook for about another minute, then flip again if needed
  • If cheese starts to ooze out in the middle, use spatula to push back in.
  • Remove from oil and sprinkle with oregano and crushed red pepper. Serve immediately
