Ingredients
Cheese
- 200 grams halloumi cheese, sliced into 1 cm thick pieces
For Frying
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Toppings
- 2 tablespoons honey, adjust to taste
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (can substitute with dried thyme)
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
- Fry the halloumi: Add the halloumi slices to the pan and fry each side for 2-3 minutes until they become golden brown and crispy.
- Remove and serve: Carefully remove the fried halloumi from the pan and place the pieces on a serving plate.
- Drizzle honey: Generously drizzle honey over the warm halloumi slices, ensuring each piece is coated for a perfect balance of sweet and savory.
- Sprinkle thyme: Finish by sprinkling fresh thyme leaves on top and serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between the crispy cheese and sweet honey.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of honey based on your preferred sweetness level.
- Fresh thyme provides the best flavor, but dried thyme can be used if fresh is unavailable.
- Fry on medium heat to avoid burning the cheese while ensuring a crispy outside.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor as halloumi can become chewy when cooled.
