Grilled Halloumi cheese
Grilled Halloumi cheese
Grilled Halloumi cheese is a delicious and popular dish made from a semi-hard, brined cheese called Halloumi. It originates from the Mediterranean region and has a unique texture that makes it perfect for grilling. When grilled, Halloumi develops a beautiful golden-brown crust on the outside, while maintaining a soft and slightly chewy interior. The heat intensifies its salty and tangy flavors. It’s often served as a standalone appetizer, in salads, or as a tasty addition to sandwiches and wraps.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Halloumi cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- lemon juice freshly squeezed (optional)
- Fresh herbs such as mint, basil, or oregano for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Slice the Halloumi cheese into 1/2-inch thick pieces. You can cut it into rectangles or triangles, whichever you prefer.
- Brush both sides of the cheese slices with olive oil. This will prevent them from sticking to the grill and give them a nice grilled flavor.
- Place the cheese slices directly on the grill grates. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until you see grill marks and the cheese starts to soften.
- Carefully remove the grilled Halloumi cheese from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate.
- Squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the cheese slices if desired. This adds a tangy and refreshing touch.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like mint, basil, or oregano to enhance the flavors and presentation.
