Grilled Halloumi Greek Flatbreads
Description
The recipe involves slicing halloumi into 1cm thick blocks, then grilling them in olive oil on a griddle pan for approximately 3 minutes per side until grill marks develop and the cheese softens slightly while remaining chewy. Flatbreads are moistened lightly with water and placed under the grill to warm through and become pliable.
The warmed flatbreads are spread with hummus or tzatziki, layered with arugula, sliced red bell pepper, red onion, olives, and the grilled halloumi slices. Toppings of honey and pomegranate seeds add contrasting sweet notes to the savory base. This creates a combination of creamy spreads, fresh vegetables, and salty cheese wrapped inside warm flatbread.
These flatbreads are best eaten fresh due to the texture of halloumi and the crispness of the vegetables. They can be kept in the refrigerator for a short time but are recommended for prompt serving. Additional fillings like grilled meats or falafel can expand the dish.

Notes

- Cooking halloumi on a griddle pan or barbecue provides distinct grill lines and quick cooking.
- Adding fries inside the flatbread makes it resemble authentic Greek street food.
- Consider including chicken, lamb souvlaki, or falafel for added protein variations.
- A sprinkle of red chili flakes before serving adds a spicy kick if desired.
