Ingredients
1 (8-oz.) block halloumi cheese
2 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 tsp. honey
1 sprig thyme, leaves stripped
Freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
Step 1Heat a grill to medium high and clean grates well. Pat halloumi dry with a paper towel. Slice cheese crosswise into ¼”-thick pieces. Pat each piece dry with a paper towel.Step 2Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil evenly over sliced cheese and flip them once or twice to coat in oil.Step 3Place cheese on hot grill and let cook just until cheese no longer sticks to grates and grill marks appear, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip them over and repeat on other side.Step 4Transfer cheese to a serving platter. Drizzle with honey and remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil. Sprinkle with thyme leaves and season with freshly ground black pepper.
The things you could top Grilled Halloumi with are endless, but a light drizzle of honey and fresh thyme leaves that get warmed ever so slightly by the toasty cheese, are an excellent choice. For a different, savory version, top grilled halloumi with chopped tomatoes and herbs.
