Step 3: Fry the Halloumi
Carefully lay the halloumi slices into the pan in a single layer. You should hear a gentle sizzle—this is exactly what you want.
Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, without moving the slices too much. Allow the cheese to form a deep golden crust before flipping.
Step 4: Flip and Finish
Turn each slice gently and cook the second side for another 2 minutes, until equally golden and crisp.
Once cooked, remove the halloumi from the pan and place it on a plate.
Step 5: Season and Serve
Finish with a light sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper or chili flakes for a subtle kick. Serve immediately while the halloumi is hot and perfectly crispy.
