Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Halloumi cheese (low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 10 whole Fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
1. Begin by preparing your ingredients. Remove the halloumi from its packaging and pat it dry with paper towels.
2. Slice the halloumi into 1/2-inch thick slices. Aim to have a uniform thickness for even cooking.
3. Brush each slice of halloumi lightly on both sides with olive oil to ensure they don't stick to the grill.

5. Once the pan is hot, place the halloumi slices on the grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and grill marks appear.
6. While the halloumi is grilling, halve the lemon and squeeze out the juice into a small bowl. Set aside for later use.
7. Once the halloumi is grilled, remove it from the heat and place on a serving plate.
8. Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the grilled halloumi slices for a burst of citrus flavor.
9. Sprinkle the grilled halloumi with fresh thyme leaves and torn mint leaves for a refreshing herbal touch.
10. Finish off by seasoning the dish with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
11. Serve the grilled halloumi warm as a delectable appetizer or side dish, enjoying its perfect balance of savory richness and refreshing herbs.
