🧀 Halloumi Basics

Halloumi is a semi-hard, salty cheese from Cyprus that’s famous for its high melting point, making it ideal for grilling or frying.

🔥 Grilled Halloumi

• Slices of halloumi are placed directly on a grill or grill pan.
• This method gives it a golden, crispy exterior and soft interior without breading.

🍞 Panko-Crumbled Halloumi

• Halloumi is coated in panko breadcrumbs (a Japanese-style breadcrumb known for its light, crispy texture) and then typically fried or baked.
• This version has a crunchy crust and a gooey center.
