  1. Slice Haloumi into 1-2cm thick slices or wedges.
  2. Place the flour in a shallow bowl and season with salt and pepper.

  4. Dip the cheese first in the flour, then in the water and again in the flour. You can repeat this step if you want a thicker coating on the cheese.
  5. In a heavy bottom frying pan or skillet set over medium-high heat add enough oil to shallow fry the cheese.
  6. Carefully add the cheese to the hot oil then fry for 2-3 minutes then carefully flip and fry until golden brown and crisp on both sides.
  7. Remove from the pan and allow to drain on paper towel. 
  8. Mix the fresh chilli and thyme with honey then drizzle over the Saganaki. Serve with lemon wedges.
