⭐ What is Halloumi?
Halloumi is a semi-hard cheese traditionally made from a blend of sheep’s and goat’s milk. What sets it apart is its high melting point—it won’t ooze or fall apart when heated. That makes it perfect for quick pan-frying, yielding a crispy outside with a warm, chewy center.
🛒 Ingredients:
-
Halloumi Cheese: 1 block (about 7–8 oz), cut into ¼-inch thick slices
-
Olive Oil or Butter: 1–2 tablespoons, for frying
-
Fresh Lemon Juice or Herbs (Optional): For finishing and added flavor
Note: You can find imported halloumi in most grocery stores, often near the specialty cheeses.
