• porções: 4 servings
• tempo ativo: 10 minutes
• tempo total: 10 minutes

Ingredientes

8- 8.8 ounces halloumi cheese (*depending on the brand, halloumi is sold as 8 ounces or 8.8 ounces)

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

½ tsp fresh herbs such as oregano or thyme (can use dried)

¼ tsp Kosher or fine sea salt, plus more to taste

⅛ tsp fresh ground pepper, plus more to taste

8 slices crusty bread, or 4 ciabatta rolls (ciabatta, baguette, sourdough)

4-6 tbsp roasted red pepper aioli* (recipe below)

1 large tomato, preferably heirloom or beefsteak, sliced ¼ thick

fresh greens for topping (arugula, spinach, etc.) (optional)

2 tsp red pepper pesto

6 tbsp mayo

Instruções

Slice the halloumi, lengthwise into 3-4 slices. Place in a shallow bowl and add the olive oil, herbs, salt and pepper. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the halloumi and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 4-6 minutes. If toasting the bread, place it in the same skillet with olive oil, and toast it for a few minutes until golden.

Lay out the bread and spread one side with the red pepper aioli. Add the halloumi, followed by 1-2 tomato slices, and greens (if using). Top with the remaining slices of bread. Serve immediately.

Red Pepper Pesto Aioli

Combine the red pepper pesto and mayo in a small bowl. Mix until well combined. Set aside until ready to use.
