Deep-fried halloumi is a crispy, savory dish featuring halloumi cheese, a semi-hard, brined cheese traditionally from the Eastern Mediterranean, especially Cyprus. Known for its high melting point, halloumi is ideal for frying, creating a golden, crunchy crust while maintaining its chewy interior. Typically coated in a light batter or breadcrumbs, then deep-fried, this preparation enhances its rich, salty flavor. Halloumi is high in protein and calcium, contributing positively to bone health and muscle repair. However, its deep-fried preparation increases calorie content and fat levels, particularly saturated fats, making it less suitable for regular consumption if maintaining a low-fat diet. It is often served as an appetizer or paired with salads and dips, balancing indulgence with fresh ingredients. Halloumi is vegetarian-friendly but contains relatively high sodium, so mindful eating is recommended for those monitoring salt intake.
