Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Halloumi cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the halloumi cheese into 1 cm thick slices and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the halloumi slices in the skillet. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove from heat and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the balsamic vinegar and honey. Stir well to combine.
Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and forms a glossy glaze. Be careful not to let it burn.
Drizzle the caramelised balsamic glaze over the halloumi slices evenly.
Garnish with fresh thyme, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy as an appetizer or with a side of fresh salad.
