Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Halloumi

    Cut the halloumi cheese into 1/2-inch thick slices. This will help it grill evenly and achieve the desired texture.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Cheese

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and fresh herbs. Add the halloumi slices to the bowl and gently toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Make sure it's hot before adding the halloumi.

  2. 4

    Grill the Halloumi

    Place the marinated halloumi slices on the grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the cheese is golden brown.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Remove the grilled halloumi from the grill and let it cool for a minute. Serve warm as an appetizer or as part of a salad.
