Ingredients
- 8 ounces halloumi
- 1 tablespoon olive oil plus more for serving
- tomatoes sliced, for serving
- cucumbers sliced, for serving
- fresh mint for serving
- zaatar for serving
Instructions
- Drain the halloumi and slice in wide thin pieces, about 8 slices. Pat the slices very dry with paper towels.
- Heat the olive oil in a grill pan or heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced halloumi and cook undisturbed until the bottoms are well-browned, about 3-4 minutes.
- Use a spatula or tongs to flip the halloumi slices and cook on the other side until browned, about 2-3 more minutes.
- Plate the grilled halloumi with sliced tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, fresh mint, zaatar and a drizzle of olive oil, if desired
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Storage: It's best to enjoy the halloumi straight away. You can keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, but will start to dry out and become hard.
- Equipment: For indoor grilling, I love using the Anolon nonstick griddle/pan (affiliate link). It creates crisp texture with beautiful grill marks.
