Grilled Halloumi Cheese with Fig Jam is a delightful Mediterranean-inspired dish that combines salty, savory, and sweet flavors. Halloumi, a semi-hard cheese traditionally from Cyprus, is known for its high melting point, making it ideal for grilling. Its golden, crispy exterior contrasts deliciously with its chewy, tender interior. This dish pairs the cheese with fig jam, a decadent spread packed with natural sweetness and fiber, balancing the saltiness of the halloumi. Rich in protein and calcium, halloumi supports bone health but is high in sodium and saturated fat, so moderation is key. The fig jam introduces antioxidants and vitamins while adding a touch of indulgence. Served solo or as part of a platter, this dish is a satisfying treat for vegetarians and cheese lovers. For a healthier version, consider combining it with fresh figs and greens to reduce overall sugar and fat content.
