Cost per serving $2.01 view details
  • 2 lb provolone or possibly caciocavallo Flour for dredging
  • 8 slc Italian peasant bread, 1 1/2" thick (or possibly any other crusty bread cut)
  • 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp dry oregano flowers
  • 1/2 c. white wine vinegar
  • 1 x garlic clove

Directions

  1. Cut the cheese into 6 slices, each about 3/4-inch thick. Using your palms, press flour onto each side of each cheese slice, shaking off any extra and set the cheese slices aside.
  2. Brush the bread slices with a little extra virgin olive oil and grill on both sides.
  3. In a 12- to 14-inch saute/fry pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil over high heat. Place the cheese in the pan in a single layer. Cook cheese till a brown crust develops. Turn the cheese over with a spatula and sprinkle with a healthy pinch of oregano flowers. Cook for 2 min more. Drain some fat from he pan, add in 1/4 c. white wine vinegar and let it flame. When the flames subside, add in another 1/4 c. vinegar and remove cheese to hot plates.
  4. Rub the grilled bread slices with the clove of garlic, add in them to the platter, drizzle the platter with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with more oregano.
  5. This recipe yields 6 servings.
