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.

  4. Top the bread in the skillet with the second slice, buttered side up, creating a sandwich. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, then flip with a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
