You should also check fried Feta with honey as well!
I really want to like Halloumi but I find it hard to get past the squeaky texture. Every bite grates my mind.
And I love squeaky cheese. To each their own.
My favorite cheese as a kid was munster, because of the squeaky salty goodness.
Come to Canada. Eat the curds. Alter your mind.
Yes, I don’t like that either, but I tend to have it relatively thin and fried to be crispy to get some nice cheesy crispy goodness without being too squeaky.
Yes please. Fried Halloumi is so good. I’m going to have to try it with honey and flakey salt now.
What is Halloumi?
It’s a kind of mediterranean cheese. It’s pretty firm and doesn’t really melt, so you can fry it up nice and crispy. Really amazing in a shawarma.
Looks so good, I gotta try this! Any special preparation while frying?
Most halloumi is sold in a type of brine.
Usually you slice it into decently thick pieces, pat dry, brush with olive oil and fry on high.
I would assume the drizzle is post plating, but I only ever fry up barebones halloumi or maybe had some pepper
Thanks! Will try this
Oh, honey is a great idea!! you’ve given me a craving.
I like to fry with harissa and dill, amazing with some tatziki
