Crispy Halloumi Burgers

Emmett Bennett

Report

A really easy-to-make crispy veggie burger with halloumi cheese as the star of the show. Top brioche buns with shallow fried halloumi slices, then pile on ribbons of carrot and cucumber and sweet chilli mayonnaise. Delicious!

Instructions

Heat the oil until it sizzles when you dip the end of a piece of halloumi in it.
Dip each slice of halloumi in the flour so that it has a thin layer all over.
Carefully place the halloumi into the oil (in 2 batches) and let cook for 2 to 4 minutes until golden brown on both sides (you can turn it over half way through cooking if you like but you may not need to).
Meanwhile, use a vegetable peeler to peel thin strips of cucumber and carrot. Mix the two together.
Remove the halloumi from the oil and drain for a moment on kitchen paper while you prepare the mayo and burger buns.
Lightly toast the buns. Meanwhile, mix the mayo and sweet chilli sauce.
Assemble the burgers. Spread the bottom part of the bread with a layer of mayonnaise, then top with some salad leaves.
Top each burger with 2 slices of crispy halloumi, then pile a handful of cucumber and carrot on top.
Finally, spoon over more mayo to taste and cover with the top part of the burger. Enjoy!

Notes

What to serve with them: Although these halloumi burgers are delicious on their own, they also go really well with sweet potato fries, Mediterranean roast vegetables or Greek potatoes.
Sauce: If you prefer a bit more 'zing' in your burger, simply add a bit more sweet chilli sauce to your mayonnaise. Also feel free to use tzatziki, Caesar sauce or ranch dressing instead.
Where to buy halloumi: Widely available in supermarkets, but if not try a European style deli. In the USA try Trader Joe's. Queso para freir can work as a substitute!
