Step 1: Prepare the Halloumi
<\/strong>Remove the halloumi from its package and gently pat it dry with a paper towel. This helps the cheese fry properly and develop a crisp surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>Place a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of olive oil\u2014just enough to lightly coat the bottom of the pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Fry the Halloumi
<\/strong>Place the halloumi slices in a single layer in the pan. You should hear a delicate sizzle; this is precisely what you desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>Cook the second side for a further 2 minutes, until uniformly golden and crisp, by slowly turning each slice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>For a little bit of heat, top it off with a light sprinkling of freshly ground black pepper or chili flakes. Serve the halloumi immediately while it’s still warm and crunchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>Halloumi that has been pan-fried is highly adaptable. Serve it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over grain bowls or salads
together with fresh cucumbers or tomatoes
When rolled or stacked, a protein punch is achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n
