Ingredients

  • 1 (1) block halloumi
  • 2 tablespoons (2 tablespoons) olive oil

Instructions

  • Slice the halloumi to your desired thickness and rub with the olive oil.
  • Heat the grill pan until it just starts to smoke. Place the oiled halloumi slices in the pan and grill on each side for about 2-3 minutes until deep chargrill lines have formed on the slices.
  • Sprinkle with some pepper and a touch of sea salt if you like.

Notes

1. Halloumi is a salty cheese so you need to go easy on any seasoning you may want to add. Grilling halloumi does help to tone down the saltiness.
2. Get your pan very hot before adding the halloumi so that you get really good grill marks.
3. Drizzle the oil over the cheese rather than in the pan to avoid creating too much smoke and to make sure that the oil doesn't drip into the grooves of the pan.
