Marissa's MediterraneanSalty halloumi cheese seared until golden and drizzled with a zesty lemon-honey glaze and fresh mint. It's the ultimate crowd-pleasing appetizer that takes minutes to whip up!
Pat the halloumi slices dry with a paper towel to ensure they get a crispy crust. Combine the honey and lemon juice in a small bowl and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
Add the halloumi slices to the pan, making sure not to overcrowd it. Sear for about 2-3 minutes per side until they are beautifully golden brown and slightly softened.
Don't move them too much; let that crust form!
Remove from heat and immediately drizzle the lemon-honey mixture over the warm cheese. Garnish with fresh mint and lemon zest. Serve immediately while warm.
If you want a little extra kick, a pinch of red pepper flakes in the honey is a game changer! These are best served warm so the cheese is perfectly gooey. Make sure to pat the halloumi dry before searing to get that beautiful golden crust.
