Pan-Fried Halloumi

Pan-fried halloumi is crispy outside, soft inside, and takes only a few minutes.

Ingredients

• 225 g halloumi cheese
• 1 tsp olive oil (optional)
• Black pepper
• Lemon wedges or honey for serving

Instructions

1. Slice the halloumi into pieces about 1 cm thick.
2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
3. Add a tiny bit of oil if needed.
4. Cook halloumi for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown.

Serving Ideas

• With salad and olives
• In wraps or sandwiches
• Drizzled with honey and chili flakes

Tips

• Don’t add salt — halloumi is already salty.
• Serve immediately for the best texture.
• You can also grill or air-fry it.
