How to Make Irresistible Pan-Fried Halloumi

  • Slice the halloumi into ½ inch thick pieces for even cooking.
  • In a non-stick skillet, pour enough olive oil to coat the bottom and heat over medium-high until shimmering.
  • Gently place the halloumi slices in the skillet, cooking for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Drizzle the peppered honey over the slices and allow it to caramelize for another minute.
  • Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh herbs, and drizzle with additional honey for presentation.

Notes

Leftover halloumi can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat for best texture.
