Halloumi is a dense cheese that is firm enough to be grilled, pan seared or baked. It can be found seasonally (summertime!) in most groceries. It is such a treat!
What You’ll Need:
½ pound block halloumi cheese, sliced in half
1 eggplant, partially peeled (think like zebra stripes) & sliced into rounds
1 red onion, cut into large chunks
1 pint cherry tomato
metal or bamboo skewers or a grill basket
olive oil
sea salt & black pepper to taste
Fire up the grill to medium heat.*
*Don’t have an outdoor grill? Use a grill pan or skillet inside!
If using skewers, do onions & tomatoes on separate sticks. Or, pop onions into grill basket. The tomatoes will go in later.
Drizzle prepared veggies lightly with olive oil, salt & pepper to taste. No need to oil or season cheese, it has plenty of natural oils & flavor!
Place halloumi, onions & eggplant on grill, cook for 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook opposite side for 4-5 minutes. Now, add tomato skewers to the grill, too!
Serve grilled cheese with veggies and be so happy!
