Ingredients

4 servings

1 block (8 oz) halloumi cheese
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
1 tbsp raw honey
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

For serving

2 tbsp fresh mint leaves, torn
lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

1
Remove the halloumi from its packaging and pat it thoroughly dry with paper towels. Slice the block crosswise into 8 even slabs, each about 1/2 inch thick.
2
Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the halloumi slices in a single layer without crowding and cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes, until the undersides are deep golden brown and the slices release easily from the pan.
