Grilled Halloumi
Report
Grilled Halloumi features slices of firm, salty cheese cooked on a hot grill until charred and browned on the outside while remaining soft on the inside. The cheese is brushed with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance browning. This quick prep yields a savory, slightly crispy cheese suitable as an appetizer or addition to salads and sandwiches.
Description
The halloumi is sliced into half-inch thick planks and coated with extra-virgin olive oil. Grilling over high heat develops a charred surface and grill marks, imparting a smoky note. Reducing the heat to medium ensures the cheese cooks through without burning. Each side grills for 2 to 3 minutes until well-colored and warmed.
The result is halloumi with a firm exterior and a tender, slightly squeaky texture inside. It’s rich and salty with a mild flavor. Grilled halloumi can be served on its own, paired with vegetables, or included in Mediterranean-style dishes where its grilled texture and salty taste stand out.
