Ingredients for Baked Cheese

  • Provolone Cheese
  • Lemon Pepper Seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon meat tenderizer
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

How to Make Baked Cheese

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly coat a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Spread evenly to prevent sticking.
  3. Arrange 4-6 slices of provolone cheese (approximately 4 ounces total), spacing them about 4 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Sprinkle each cheese slice evenly with 1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon meat tenderizer.
  5. Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is slightly browned around the edges and lightly golden in the center. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the delicious crunch and gooey goodness!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
