Instructions
- Drain and cut halloumi into 3/8-inch slices. Pat dry with paper towel.

Notes
- Halloumi cheese does not melt. Paneer cheese is a good substitute for halloumi cheese. You can find it in the cheese section of larger grocery stores, or specialty stores like Trader Joes and Whole Foods. Another option is to source from a Middle Eastern or Mediterranean grocer.
