Ingredients
  

  • 9-ounce block Halloumi
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil

Equipment

  • 8-inch non-stick frying pan

Method
 

  1. 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!
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  • 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.
