Ingredients

  • 8 oz halloumi cheese 226 g
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil 30 mL
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Juice from ½ a lemon

Instructions

  • Slice: Cut the halloumi into thick (½ inch-ish) slabs.
  • Season: Stir together olive oil and Italian seasoning. Brush onto all sides of the halloumi.
    A hand uses a brush to spread oil and seasoning onto rectangular blocks of grilled halloumi arranged on a white plate.
  • Grill: Transfer halloumi onto either a hot grill or grill pan. Cook over high heat until the outside is charred.
    Six pieces of white fish and grilled halloumi are being cooked on a ridged cast iron grill pan, with visible grill marks and light seasoning.
  • Serve: Drizzle with lemon juice and serve hot.
    Grilled halloumi cheese slices garnished with fresh herbs, served on a wooden tray with lemon wedges and a crisp green salad—perfect for lovers of grilled halloumi.

Notes

If you have leftovers, they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To enjoy more, reheat the slices on a non-stick skillet over medium heat. You may need to add extra oil if it has absorbed into the cheese to prevent sticking.
