Why you’ll love this grilled halloumi cheese Halloumi has become my go-to when I want something a little different on the grill – it’s salty, squeaky, and holds its shape completely, which still feels like a small kitchen miracle every time I make it.Why You’ll Love This: Endlessly versatile – serve it as an appetizer, on a salad, or tucked into a sandwich.Ready in under 30 minutes – most of that is just marinating time.
No melting on the grill – halloumi’s high melting point means it grills up firm with a golden crust.Just 3 ingredients – halloumi, olive oil, and your favorite seasoning.What is Halloumi? Halloumi is a semi-hard, brined cheese that originally comes from Cyprus, traditionally made from a mix of sheep’s milk and goat’s milk (though cow’s milk versions are common too).
What makes it special is its high melting point – unlike most cheeses, it doesn’t melt when heated, so you can grill, pan-fry, or bak
