Provoleta
Thick slice of provolone grilled until bubbly on top and crusty on the bottom, seasoned with oregano and chile flakes.
Why It Works
Provolone's high melting point allows it to char on the exterior while becoming molten inside; direct grill contact creates a golden crust through the Maillard reaction on milk proteins.
