How to fry halloumi cheese
- Add 2 tsps of olive oil to a non-stick pan or a grill pan over medium heat.
- Once your pan is pre-heated and oiled, place the cheese slices directly on the pan; cook them for 2 minutes on one side, and cook for 1-2 minutes on the other.
- Remove halloumi from the pan, and serve or use in your desired recipe immediately.
How to grill halloumi cheese
- Slice the halloumi into slices of ½-inch thickness, then brush the halloumi lightly with olive oil to cook on both sides.
- Once your outdoor grill is hot and ready, you can place the slices of cheese onto the grill grates directly, spacing them evenly apart so that they cook through without burning. Grill each side for around 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy in places. Serve grilled salty halloumi immediately.
