Are you looking for a tasty and simple vegetarian dish? Look no further than grilled halloumi cheese! This recipe is perfect for a quick and flavorful meal that is sure to impress your family and friends. The salty and savory flavor of halloumi cheese is enhanced by grilling it, making it a delicious addition to any meal.
Ingredients:
- 8 oz. halloumi cheese
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
To start, preheat your grill or grill pan on medium-high heat. While the grill is heating up, slice the halloumi cheese into 1/4 inch thick slices. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
Once the grill is hot, place the halloumi slices on the grill and brush them with the olive oil mixture. Grill the halloumi for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until it is golden brown and slightly charred. Be careful not to overcook the cheese, as it can become tough and rubbery.
Once the halloumi cheese is grilled to perfection, remove it from the grill and serve it immediately. This dish is perfect as a side to a salad or roasted vegetables, or as a main course with some flavorful rice or quinoa. Enjoy!
