Phyllo-wrapped Haloumi

Method

Phyllo-wrapped Haloumi

  1. 1

    Prepare the Phyllo

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lay out the phyllo dough sheets on a clean, dry surface, and cover them with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.

  2. 2

    Wrap the Haloumi

    Take one sheet of phyllo dough and brush it lightly with olive oil. Place a second sheet on top and repeat the oil brushing. Cut the stacked phyllo sheet into quarters. Place a piece of haloumi cheese on one corner of each quarter. Sprinkle some fresh thyme leaves over the cheese.

  3. 3

    Fold and Bake

    Fold the phyllo over the haloumi to create a triangular shape, then fold the sides in to seal. Brush the tops with more olive oil. Place the wrapped haloumi on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
