Halloumi is a fantastic semi-firm cheese from Cyprus and a favourite in Greek cuisine. It is similar in texture to mozzarella but it is brined which gives it a salty flavour and a deeper flavour. This is an excellent grilling cheese because it does not melt. Halloumi slices hold their shape when cooked and the heat softens the rubbery (or “squeaky”) cheese while reducing the saltiness. The cheese should soften as it cooks but no liquid should escape and it will not melt. You can poke it with a spatula to test the consistency.

Baked Haloumi – quick and easy

A popular addition to a Greek meze table is fried halloumi which makes for a unique treat. It’s chewy – don’t expect it to melt in your mouth – and it’s delicious. Fried halloumi is best served warm and can be topped off in a variety of ways. This dish calls for a tomato garnish and balsamic vinaigrette but you can also serve it simply with olive oil for a purer flavor.
If you have extra halloumi make a warm salad and add fried halloumi just before serving. Cut the halloumi into cubes and add to meat or vegetable skewers. For meat-free burgers or sandwiches grill slices and serve in buns or bread with condiments and vegetable toppings. Or replace the buns with grilled halloumi.
