Honey glazed halloumi is a delicious different and easy midweek dinner idea.

Stuff it into a flatbread or pitta along with a good helping of salad, and if you're extra hungry add a side of fries.

What is halloumi?

Halloumi is a traditional Cypriot cheese made from a mixture of goat's and sheep's milk. Sometimes it is made with cow's milk.

How to grill halloumi

  • Halloumi has a high melting point so it can easily be fried or grilled. 
  • Remove the halloumi from the packaging and pat dry on kitchen paper.
  • Slice into almost 1cm slices, not too thin or it will break.
  • Add a little oil to a plate either just the oil or mix it with honey and smoked paprika as in this recipe.
  • Add the halloumi slices and turn to coat well taking care not to break the slices. 
  • Heat up a medium-sized griddle pan or frying pan and add the halloumi.
  • Fry for just a minute or so on each side, any longer and it will go a bit rubbery and it will make a squeaking noise when you eat it - bizarre I know! 😀

What is Greek flatbread?

Greek flatbread or Greek pitta is a soft pocketless pita, making it easy to wrap around your chosen filling.

A soft flatbread made with yeast and is commonly served with souvlaki, gyros, salad and dips.

It's so much softer than regular pitta bread, for this reason, I often use them when I make my lamb koftas recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 x 225g pack of halloumi
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons runny honey
  • Sweet pepper flakes or chilli flakes
  • 2 x Greek flatbreads or pitta
  • Salad with red onion, tomatoes, cucumber and baby leaves along with your favourite sauce
