Cut the cheese into cubes and place them in the freezer.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the cheese cubes to the pan once hot and allow them to partially melt at the bottom. (Okay, this is the part where I got a little angry when I was putting this together.)
Flip the cubes of cheese with a spatula to brown them as much as possible. Press down on it with the spatula and make sure it all combines together.
Continue cooking the cheese, flipping half of the cheese over onto itself.
Continue pressing the cheese down, getting rid of any excess oil.
Continue flipping and cooking the cheese in this manner until a nice crust is formed.
Using another spatula, fork, or knife, form a block with the melting cheese and seal off all the edges.
Remove from the pan and let cool slightly.
Use a knife to cut the cheese into cubes. It should be warm and still gooey in the middle.
Serve with olives and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Enjoy!
