Ingrédients

Did you know that if you soak halloumi in boiling water, you can roll it out and make a schnitzel?!

I just covered these in breadcrumbs and fried it so it was thin and crispy and honestly, add some chips and it is just the BEST weekend dinner!

I drizzled mine in this storecupboard version of garlic butter, using dried parsley and garlic paste, so it could NOT be easier - you can even cook them in the airfryer!

I have written up the recipe below, let me know if you're going to give it a try! A x

2 blocks of halloumi (cut carefully in half lengthways)

1 large egg beaten

A large handful of fresh or panko breadcrumbs

Oil for frying

60g butter

1 tsp garlic paste

1 tsp dried parsley

Instructions

Place the halloumi quarters in boiling water and leave to soak for 15 minutes.

Carefully lift them from the pan (one at a time, leave the rest in while you bread the halloumi) and place them on a double sheet of kitchen roll.

Place more kitchen roll on top of the halloumi and gently roll it out. When it's thin and double the size leave it to cool completely before moving.

Roll in flour until coated then tap off excess

Dip it in beaten egg, then place on a plate of breadcrumbs, making sure each side is covered.

Repeat with the rest of the halloumi.

Fry for a couple of minutes on each side until crisp and golden brown.

Place the butter, parsley and garlic paste in a microwave safe bowl. Season and microwave until the butter has melted.

Stir and pour over the crispy halloumi

Serve immediately
