🧀 3-Ingredient Pan-Fried Halloumi
Halloumi is a semi-firm cheese that doesn’t melt when heated, making it perfect for a quick, crispy pan-fry. Only 3 ingredients are needed! 😋
🧾 Ingredients
- 8 oz Halloumi cheese, sliced about ¼–½ inch thick
- 1–2 tbsp Olive oil (or any neutral oil)
- Fresh Lemon wedges, for serving
👨🍳 Instructions
- Slice the halloumi
- Cut into even slices to ensure they cook evenly.
- Heat the pan
- Place a non-stick or cast-iron pan over medium heat.
- Add olive oil and let it heat for a few seconds.
- Fry the halloumi
- Place slices in the hot pan.
- Fry 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top.
- Enjoy as a snack, salad topping, or in sandwiches.
💡 Tips
- Don’t overcrowd the pan—fry in batches if needed.
- Optional: Sprinkle fresh herbs like parsley or oregano for extra flavor.
- Halloumi pairs wonderfully with Tomato, Cucumber, or Olives for a quick Mediterranean-style plate.
