Halloumi Grilled Cheese Recipe
Try this Halloumi grilled cheese recipe for a quick and easy salad, perfect for vegetarians and those wanting a light lunch. Occasionally I get a health kick and at that point Halloumi always finds it's way into my shopping cart.
If you're not familiar with Halloumi, it's a Cypriot cheese that's very firm and so perfect for grilling. It has a salty taste and the texture is almost squeaky when you eat it. One of my neighbors who hates cooked cheese absolutely loves my marinated Halloumi recipe! - you can find it here under my vegetarian barbecue cooking section.
This particular recipe is best sizzled on the hotplate or grill pan so for those of you who know me well, you'll guess that I've done it on my Plancha tabletop gas grill.
Slice the Halloumi thickly (¼ inch thick slices) and peel and slice the onions. On a medium heat grill the onions for about 3 or 4 minutes until they start to become fragrant.
Now throw on the Halloumi and chop the garlic (throw that on too) and grill the Halloumi for 2-3 minutes on each side until it goes golden brown.
Scoop up some onions and garlic to make a bed on your plate and then place the slices of Halloumi on top, drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with olive oil. Now you're ready to serve.
