Grilled Cheese with Provolone

This dish features slices of provolone cheese layered between bread slices and grilled until the cheese melts and the bread develops a golden-brown crust. The result is a crispy exterior with a creamy, gooey interior that highlights the nutty flavor of provolone. The preparation involves buttering the bread and pan-frying to achieve a satisfying texture and appearance.
