3-ingredient pan-fried halloumi is a quick, salty, and crispy dish you can make in minutes. Halloumi is perfect for frying because it holds its shape and develops a golden crust.
🧀 Ingredients (only 3!)
- Halloumi cheese (1 block, sliced)
- Olive oil (1–2 tbsp)
- Black pepper (to taste)
🍳 Instructions
- Slice the halloumi into 1 cm thick pieces.
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Add halloumi slices and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Sprinkle with black pepper and serve immediately.
😋 Serving Ideas
- Drizzle with honey for sweet-salty flavor
- Add to salads or wraps
- Serve with fresh vegetables or bread
💡 Tips
- Don’t overcrowd the pan—gives better crispiness
- No need to add salt (halloumi is naturally salty)
- Eat fresh—best when hot and crispy
