Notes
Recipe Copyright The Foreign Fork. For educational or personal use only.
- Halloumi cheese– If possible, try a Cypriot-made variety—it tends to have the best flavor.
- When you first begin grilling the halloumi it may emit a little bit of liquid. Continue grilling and the liquid will dry up.
- You can still make this recipe without a barbeque grill. Just use a tabletop grill or even an air fryer!
- If your halloumi is sticking to the grill, it probably isn’t hot enough. Allow it to keep cooking until it easily releases from the grill.
