Marissa's MediterraneanCrispy, golden-brown halloumi cheese cubes pan-seared and drizzled with a zesty lemon-honey glaze. The perfect salty-sweet bite to kick off any family gathering.
Pat the halloumi cubes dry with a paper towel. This is the secret to getting that perfect golden crust instead of just steaming the cheese!
Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Place the halloumi cubes in the skillet, making sure not to crowd them. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until they develop a deep golden-brown crust.
Don't flip them too early; let that crust form so they don't stick.
While the cheese is searing, whisk together the honey and lemon juice in a small bowl.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Drizzle the lemon-honey mixture over the warm cheese and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle with fresh oregano and serve immediately on skewers.
The key here is high-quality olive oil and very fresh oregano. If you want a little extra kick, a pinch of red pepper flakes in the oil works wonders. Serve these warm!
