Crispy Provolone with Chimichurri


This quick dip recipe is guaranteed to please. We’re melting down Provolone, one of Italy’s most famous cheeses, known for being salty, tangy, and supremely snackable, and creating a cheesy blend that’s combined with a bright, intensely flavorful homemade chimichurri sauce for dipping. With a kick of spice from the addition of red chili flakes, this hot dish is ready to serve in just minutes--we recommend using a crusty baguette for dipping, but get inventive at home with crackers or bites of your choice.

¾ cup Murray’s Koroneiki EVOO

4 Tbsp. Red Wine Vinegar

1 lb Buonatavola® Provolone (sliced at least 1” thick)

½ tsp. Red Chili Flakes

Heat oven broiler on high, adjust the oven racks so one is about 8 inches from the heating element.
To make the chimichurri, add all ingredients to a blender and process until smooth. Set aside.
Place the provolone in a small cast iron or small oven-proof sauté pan. Place under the broiler until melted and browned on top, about 12 minutes.
Once the cheese has melted, garnish with chili flakes and dried oregano.
