Ingredients
- 250 grams Halloumi cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Slice the halloumi cheese into 1 cm thick slices and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the balsamic vinegar and honey. Stir well to combine.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Drizzle the caramelised balsamic glaze over the halloumi slices evenly.
Step 7
Garnish with fresh thyme, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy as an appetizer or with a side of fresh salad.
