Ingredients
- 225 g Halloumi
- Honey ((optional))
Method
- First you will need to slice the halloumi. Don't slice it too thin, otherwise it will fall apart and also be too dry. About 1cm/0.5 inch thick slices are best. We used a crinkle cutter for ours, give give those grill line effects.
- Put the halloumi in a non-stick frying pan (no oil is needed). You need to cook it until it releases all the liquid and then that liquid evaporates. This will take about 2-3 minutes.
- once all the liquid has gone it will leave a golden brown colour in the pan which is how you know the halloumi is ready to flip. The halloumi underneath will be the same golden colour.
- This side of the halloumi will cook a lot quicker, as the liquid has already been released. It should only take about 1 minute this side.
