Grilled Halloumi Cheese

About

Grilled Halloumi Cheese is a Mediterranean delicacy originating from Cyprus. It is made from a blend of goat's, sheep's, and sometimes cow's milk, creating a semi-hard, unripened cheese with a high melting point. This unique characteristic allows Halloumi to be grilled or pan-fried without melting, resulting in a crispy exterior and a soft, gooey interior. When cooked, it develops a savory flavor, often described as a combination of feta and mozzarella. Halloumi is typically served as an appetizer or added to salads and sandwiches. The combination of crispy grilled Halloumi with honey and thyme enhances its natural flavors. The sweetness of the honey balances the savory taste of the cheese, while thyme adds a fragrant and herbaceous note. Grilled Halloumi is easy to prepare: simply slice the cheese, brush a grill or grill pan with olive oil, and cook until golden brown. It can be enjoyed on its own or paired with fresh vegetables and herbs for a delightful Mediterranean-inspired dish. Whether served as a snack or part of a larger meal, grilled Halloumi offers a unique and satisfying culinary experience.
