  • Total Time: 16 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block of Halloumi cheese (approximately 250g)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Slice the Halloumi into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
  3. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon zest, oregano, and black pepper.
  4. Brush each Halloumi slice with the oil mixture on both sides.
  5. Grill the Halloumi for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and grill marks appear.

  • Halloumi cheese can be salty, so there’s no need to add extra salt.
  • Serve as an appetizer, in a salad, or as a delicious side dish.
  • Be careful not to overcook, as Halloumi can become rubbery if left on the grill too long.
