Marissa's MediterraneanSalty, golden-seared halloumi cheese skewers glazed with a zesty honey and chili flake infusion. A guaranteed crowd-pleaser that takes less than 10 minutes to cook.
Thread the halloumi cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, about 3-4 pieces per skewer.
Make sure the cubes are similar in size so they sear evenly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and chopped oregano to create the glaze.
Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the skewers in the hot skillet. Sear for 1-2 minutes per side until a deep golden-brown crust forms.
Don't crowd the pan; work in batches if necessary.
During the last minute of cooking, brush the honey glaze generously over the halloumi. Turn once more to caramelize slightly.
Remove from heat and serve immediately while the cheese is warm and squeaky.
The trick to getting the halloumi perfectly golden without melting into a puddle is a very hot pan and a quick sear. Don't skip the lemon zest at the end—it cuts through the richness of the cheese beautifully!
