For the Frying
- 3 tablespoon Olive Oil Adds flavor and helps achieve a golden crust.
- 250 g Halloumi Block The star ingredient that transforms when fried.
For the Hot Honey Sauce
- ⅓ cup Honey Provides sweetness that pairs with savory halloumi.
- ½ teaspoon Dried Chili Flakes Adds heat and excitement.
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Brightens the dish and balances sweetness.
Preparation
Slice the halloumi into thick pieces, about 1-1.5 cm or ½ inch. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Heat 2 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the halloumi slices and fry for 1-2 minutes until golden, then flip and fry the other side. Drizzle with lemon juice before plating.
Prepare the hot honey sauce using the same skillet. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, honey, and chili flakes, heating for about 30 seconds until it bubbles gently.
Serve the fried halloumi on a plate, drizzle with hot honey sauce, and garnish with thyme leaves.
