Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Preparation of Halloumi

    Slice the halloumi cheese into 1 cm thick pieces.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Halloumi

    In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, and black pepper. Add the halloumi slices to the bowl and gently toss to coat them in the marinade. Let it sit for about 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grilling

    Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill the marinated halloumi slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and slightly charred.

  4. 4

    Serving

    Remove the grilled halloumi from the grill and place it on a serving platter. Scatter the cherry tomatoes around the halloumi, drizzle with balsamic glaze, and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
