  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp chilli flakes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

What you do

  1. 1Leave the cheese out of the fridge for an hour and pat the surface dry.
  2. 2Get a small heavy pan hot with a film of oil. Lay the cheese in.
  3. 3Three minutes without touching it, until a crust forms underneath and the top starts sweating.
  4. 4Flip carefully with a fish slice, oregano and chilli on top, 2 minutes more.
  5. 5To the table in the pan. It has about three minutes before it sets again, so bring the bread first.
