How to Make It (Simple Steps)
Start by slicing the halloumi into thick pieces and drying them thoroughly—moisture is the enemy of crispiness. This small step makes all the difference. Tip: Use paper towels to press gently on both sides.
Heat your pan with olive oil until it lightly shimmers, then add the slices without crowding. The cheese should sizzle immediately. Tip: Don’t move the slices too soon—let the crust form.
Flip once you see golden edges, and let the opposite side crisp to perfection. Finish with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Tip: Add herbs after frying for maximum aroma.
Optional toppings like mint, oregano, or honey elevate the halloumi from simple to spectacular in seconds. Tip: Honey + lemon is a must-try combo. To discover when and how to serve these golden bites for maximum wow-factor, see next page.
