This Crispy Fried Halloumi can be served on a plate on its own with some sweet chili sauce..
..or cooked and topped on a good steak with a nice salad.
Halloumi is unlike any other cheese you have ever eaten (if you don’t know much about it). It is a Greek cheese that is ‘squeaky’ to eat – with a rubbery type texture.
It is almost like a Feta cheese but less salty and less ‘brittle’.
Method
-
Remove the Halloumi from the package and allow it to drain on some paper towel for a minute or two.
-
Cut the Halloumi into thick 1cm slices.
-
Whisk the egg in a bowl.
-
Dip the halloumi soldiers into the egg, then into Panko Breadcrumbs that have been seasoned with salt and pepper or any other herbs you wish.
-
Heat a frypan over medium heat. Grease it well with canola oil. Once hot, add the Halloumi slices and cook for one minute or each side, or until golden.
-
Serve whilst still hot.
