How to Use Halloumi Cheese- Recipe 2
GRILLED HALLOUMI & WATERMELON SANDWICH
INGREDIENTS
8 ounces halloumi
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 small watermelon
2 to 3 tomatoes
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 sprig fresh mint
1 bunch fresh basil
Balsamic glaze, optional
1.Slice halloumi width wise into quarters. One thick block of halloumi should give you about 3 to 4 slices of "bread." Brush olive oil on griddle, then grill cheese slices on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes until lightly browned.
2.Meanwhile, cut the watermelon and tomato into square pieces, about the same size as the halloumi cheese slices.
3.To assemble, place 1 piece of cheese, grill marks side down and cover with watermelon, mint, tomato, fresh black pepper, balsamic glaze and fresh basil, and top with the other slice of halloumi.

Chef's Tasting Advice

Always bring artisan cheeses and cultured butters to cool room temperature (18°C–20°C) approximately 15 minutes before serving to unlock volatile aromatics and delicate pasture cultures.
