食材

225-250g/ 8oz halloumi (block, Cyprus made PDO stamped recommended (Note 1)

2 tbsp olive oil

1 1/2 tbsp honey (eyeball it), sub maple syrup)

1/2 tsp fresh thyme leaves and tiny sprigs

2 - 3 pinches chilli flakes (red pepper flakes), optional)

步驟

Abbreviated recipe:

Cut into 1 - 1.25cm / 0.4 - 0.5" slices, pat dry. Pan fry in the oil on medium high until golden, serve on pre-warmed plate, with optional finishes.

Full recipe:

Cut halloumi into 1-1.25 cm thick slices (0.4 - 0.5") (see Note 3). Place the slices on a paper towel and pat the surface dry.

Warm a serving plate. (Note 4)

Heat the oil in a non stick pan over medium high heat.

Fry - Carefully place the halloumi in the pan (I use my hands). Cook for 1 1/2 minutes or until the underside is golden. Shuffle if needed so they cook evenly.

Turn gently (I use a spatula + butter knife to guide) and cook the other side for 1 - 1/2 minutes until golden.

Transfer onto the serving plate.

Optional finishes - Working quickly, drizzle with honey, sprinkle with thyme and chilli flakes. I do full honey coverage for some slices, and for others just a drizzle.

Serve immediately, quick, before the halloumi goes squeaky! :) Though actually, the squeak doesn’t bother me but it's at its prime straight out of the pan when the surface is still crisp and the inside is soft. (Note: Honey on the plate is ideal for bread mopping)
