Fried Halloumi
This fried halloumi recipe is quick and easy, and produces delicious crispy, golden cheese with warm and creamy centers.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 9-ounce (250g) halloumi block
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium high heat, and when the oil is shimmering add the raw halloumi slices in a single layer in the hot pan. Do not overcrowd the pan!
- Cook for 1-2 minutes per side or until golden brown, and use a spatula to flip the halloumi keeping an eye on the crust so it does not get too dark.
- Remove from the pan onto a plate. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, or warm honey. Serve immediately!
Notes
- Do Not Overcrowd the Pan. When frying halloumi, make sure to cook it in a single layer and do not overcrowd the pan! This will help it brown evenly and cook more evenly as well.
- Flip Carefully. Halloumi is delicate so handle it carefully when flipping. Use a spatula that is large enough to support the cheese, and be careful not to break it. I personally like to use a fish spatula!
- Serve Immediately. Halloumi tastes best and has the best texture while still warm. It will firm up and become rubbery when it cools, so I recommend serving it immediately for the creamiest centers.
