Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Haloumi

    Cut the Haloumi cheese into 1 cm thick slices. This will help the cheese melt evenly when cooked.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. This will enhance the flavor of the dish.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Allow the oil to warm up for about 1-2 minutes.

  2. 4

    Saute the Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

  3. 5

    Fry the Haloumi

    Place the Haloumi slices in the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly melted.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Fried Cheese

    Remove the fried Haloumi from the pan and place it on a serving plate. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
