Instructions:

Remove the cheese from the packaging and dry it with kitchen paper. Later, cut into eight slices with a sharp kitchen knife, including the end pieces. For the salad dressing, whisk all the ingredients together in a small baking bowl.

Just before serving the halloumi, heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, turn the cheese slices in turn in the seasoned flour to the other side and place in the frying pan they will need 1 minute on each side, so the first slice will almost need to be turned over when you place the last one in the frying pan. The cheese should be fried until golden brown on both sides.

Arrange on warm plates, drizzle with dressing and bring to table on the spot. Lightly toasted pita bread or Greek bread with toasted sesame seeds go well with this.

Tip: Serve for 2 people as a light lunch or for 4 people as an entrée.

This recipe is great for the unexpected vegetarian guest.

Since Greek halloumi cheese is sold vacuum-packed and therefore has a long shelf life, you can always have a packet on hand in the fridge. When you get Greek olive oil for the dressing and eat the fried cheese outside in the sun, you feel transported to Aegaeis by the fragrance and flavor.
