Ingredients
Scale
Halloumi:
- 8 ounces halloumi cheese, sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Glaze:
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Grill the Halloumi: Lightly brush both sides of the halloumi slices with olive oil. Grill for 2–3 minutes per side until grill marks appear and the cheese is golden and softened.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey, lime juice, lime zest, chili flakes, smoked paprika, and salt. Heat gently for 2–3 minutes until warm and slightly thickened.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the grilled halloumi, transfer to a plate, drizzle with the warm glaze, and garnish with extra lime zest or herbs. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Halloumi is best served fresh off the grill.
- Pair with crusty bread, salad greens, or grilled vegetables.
- You can double the glaze for dipping if desired.
