We had this tonight with steak and bowtie pasta salad. It was a big hit. The garlic and spices were a perfect compliment to the provolone cheese.

Nice treat! I had never thought of using olive oil instead of butter! I used sweet french bread as I could not find the Italian, which I would have preferred, and mozzarella.

MMMM Just what I was looking for. I liked the olive oil. I used a shredded italian cheese blend, next time I will try it with the sliced provolone. Thanks for posting..

Loved it! We, like another reviewer, used this to make open faced sandwiches for Italian Skillet Burgers. YUM! Very easy, too.

This was ok but I think I'll still keep searching for another recipe. It had more spices than I would have liked. Mandi
