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!
