Argentinian Grilled Provolone Cheese (Provoleta)

4 thick (3/4-inch) slices of provolone cheese
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon oregano
8 thick slices of French bread (can substitute sourdough)
Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Place the cheese slices in a shallow dish and drizzle the olive oil over them. Turn the slices so that each side is coated with oil. Sprinkle the cheese with the salt and oregano, and red pepper flakes if desired. Place the cheese in the freezer while you prepare the grill. Fire up the grill and when the coals are coated with ash or the gas grill has reached a high temperature, brush the grate with a generous amount of olive oil to help prevent sticking. Place the cheese slices directly on the hot grill and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is hot and slightly browned but still holding its shape. Remove the cheese to a plate. Brush the bread slices with any remaining olive oil left from the cheese marinade. Grill the bread slices until they are slightly toasted.
