Here’s a super simple 3-ingredient pan-fried halloumi—crispy outside, soft and salty inside.
🧀🔥 3-Ingredient Pan-Fried Halloumi
Ingredients
- 200–250g halloumi cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil (or butter)
- Optional seasoning: black pepper or chili flakes (counts as pantry staple)
🍳 Method
- Slice halloumi
Cut into ½–1 cm thick slices. - Heat pan
Add olive oil to a non-stick pan and heat on medium. - Fry
Place halloumi slices in the pan. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp. - Serve immediately
Best eaten hot while the outside is crispy.
🔑 Tips
- Don’t overcrowd the pan
- No need for salt—halloumi is already salty
- Medium heat is key (too high burns it fast)
🍴 Easy ways to serve
- With honey or chili honey drizzle
- In wraps or pita bread
- On salads or grain bowls
- With roasted veggies
If you want, I can give you a crispy air fryer version, a halloumi salad bowl, or a Mediterranean wrap recipe.
