Grilled Halloumi
Grilled Halloumi Cheese doesn’t melt on the grill and cooks with a crispy exterior. It’s soft in the center, salty, and delicious.
Ingredients
- 8oz (225g) halloumi block sliced into ½ inch slices
- olive oil spray
To serve
- pita bread
- tomatoes sliced
- cucumber sliced
- olives
- fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Slice halloumi cheese into ½ inch thick slices.
- Grease the grill grates and light the grill.
- Grill the slices of halloumi for 3 minutes on the first side without touching them. Then flip and grill for 3 more minutes to get beautiful grill marks on both sides.
- Serve with fresh sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, and fresh mint leaves. If you like, drizzle with olive oil and fresh black pepper.
Notes
- To grill halloumi on a grill pan, cook on medium high heat, and make sure to drizzle some olive oil on the pan to prevent any sticking.
- Halloumi is carried in many large grocery stores. In the U.S I know that WholeFoods and Trader Joe’s both carry it, and you can order it online. It’s a bit easier to find in the UK, and can be found in most supermarkets like Tesco’s, Asda, Sainsbury’s, and Waitrose.
