FLAMING BROILED PROVOLONE WITH PARSLEY TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F.

Place the tray in the oven and cook until the toast is browned, 5-8 minutes. Remove from the oven, arrange on a platter and top with the parsley.
• Broil and serve: Arrange the cheese in single layer in a 9-inch baking dish and place in the oven to melt, 5-8 minutes. Turn on the broiler and place the dish under the broiler 2 minutes more. Remove, sprinkle with salt and place on the table next to the toasts. Pour the gin over the cheese and carefully light it until it flames. Watch the flame burn until it runs out and dig in!
