Sweet and salty: Honey-glazed crispy halloumi slices
It’s Saturday, which means the weekend is finally here! We’re craving something a little different that’s also light and easy to make – a real crowd pleaser!
This sweet and salty honey-glazed halloumi recipe will do just the trick! Super simple to make, a great appetiser and a goes down well at any gathering, it’s ticking all our boxes!
You’ll need…
1 lemon
4 sprigs fresh thyme
5tbsp honey
2tbsp olive oil
600g halloumi cheese
Cut your block of halloumi cheese into ¼ inch slices and place into a container that can be sealed.
Cut a lemon in half a juice it, pouring it into the container.
Next, pour your honey into a small bowl and strip the leaves from your sprigs of thyme into the bowl, discarding the stalks. Stir to mix them in.
Pour the honey-thyme mixture over the halloumi slices, being sure to coat the halloumi, before sealing the container and allowing it to marinate for as long as possible. 2 hours will do fine, but overnight is ideal to allow the flavour to penetrate at much as possible.
Once marinated, heat olive oil in a pan over a medium heat and place your halloumi slices in the pan, setting aside the remaining marinade in the container.
Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side and once golden, pour in your remaining marinade for a little extra sizzle and crunch!
