Step 1Combine cheese with flour in a medium bowl; mix until thoroughly combined.

Step 2Lightly grease a large skillet (cast iron is preferable) with olive oil, then place over medium-low heat. Spoon 2 tbsp. of cheese into heated skillet to make a 2" to 3" round. Allow cheese to melt and edges to turn a golden brown. Cook, without touching, for about 3 minutes, then turn with a spatula. (when ready to turn, the cheese round should come away easily from the from the pan). Continue cooking for 2 minutes.
