Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 baguette, cut in 1-inch-thick slices
2 large cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 pounds aged provolone cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
4 to 6 ounces gin
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into eighths
2 fennel bulbs, outer layer removed, bulb cut into 15 to 20 wedges

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
For the toast: In a medium saute pan set over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil. When shimmering, add bread slices and toast for 2 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside. Add garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1 tablespoon water to the pan. Saute until garlic is soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Add butter and sesame seeds and toast 1 more minute. Spoon sesame-garlic mixture over toasted bread.
For the cheese: Arrange provolone in an even layer in a baking dish and sprinkle with Parmigiano. Place in the oven to melt, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove and pour half of the gin over the cheese; ignite the gin using a long match or a click lighter. Once the flames die out add more gin and flame again. Serve with toasted baguette pieces, apples and fennel.

BROCCOLI TOASTS WITH MELTY PROVOLONE

Broccoli Toasts With Melty Provolone image

A beautifully assembled toast can make a lovely light dinner. In this version, blanched broccoli is cooked in olive oil that's been infused with garlic and anchovies (always optional) until it's very tender, then it's piled onto toasted bread. Grated extra-sharp provolone, which is a nice complement to the mildly sweet broccoli, is sprinkled on top, then the toasts are broiled until the cheese is melted and golden brown. You can use cauliflower, broccoli rabe or thickly sliced sweet peppers in place of the broccoli, but be sure to cook your vegetables until they are velvety soft - it provides a nice contrast to the crunchy bread. While these toasts work well on their own, they make an equally good accompaniment to roast chicken or grilled fish.

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

Kosher salt
1 head of broccoli, about 1 pound, trimmed and cut into small florets
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 anchovy fillets, roughly chopped (optional)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
Black pepper
6 (3/4-inch thick) slices of a 10-inch round peasant loaf
3 ounces grated provolone, preferably extra-sharp

Steps:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the broccoli for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain broccoli and pat dry.
Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch tall-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the anchovies, if using, the garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook until the anchovies have dissolved and the garlic is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the broccoli and cook, stirring occasionally until the broccoli is cooked down and very tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add a tablespoon or two of water, if needed, to help it along. Stir in lemon zest. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed.
While the broccoli cooks, heat the broiler. Lay the bread on a large sheet pan and toast until golden, about 1 to 3 minutes a side depending on your oven. (Check often to make sure they don't burn.) Remove from oven and divide the broccoli mixture between the toasts. Scatter each toast with the grated provolone, return to oven and broil until the cheese melts and turns golden in spots, 1 to 3 minutes more. (Again, check often to make sure they don't burn.) Remove from oven and serve slices whole or cut in half.

PROVOLONE TOASTS

Time 15m

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 2

Ingredients

1/2 lb sliced provolone
1 loaf Italian bread, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices

Steps:

Preheat broiler.
Cut provolone to fit bread slices and set aside.
Toast bread (without cheese) on a large baking sheet 4 inches from heat until golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Turn bread over and arrange provolone on top. Broil until cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes.

Tips:

Choose fresh ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
Slice the provolone cheese thinly: This will help it cook evenly and melt quickly.
Use a hot broiler: This will help to create a crispy crust on the provolone cheese.
Watch the cheese closely: Broil the cheese for just a few minutes, until it is melted and bubbly.
Serve immediately: Flamed broiled provolone is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Flamed broiled provolone with parsley toast is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It is perfect for parties or potlucks. The combination of melted provolone cheese, crispy parsley toast, and tangy lemon vinaigrette is sure to please everyone. Serve it with your favorite drinks and enjoy!
