Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for 3-Ingredient Pan-Fried Halloumi:
Ingredients
- 200g halloumi cheese – sliced about 1 cm thick
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil – for frying
- Lemon juice – to drizzle at the end (from about half a lemon)
Instructions
- Prep the halloumi
- Slice the halloumi into 1 cm thick pieces.
- Pat lightly with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Heat the pan
- Add olive oil to a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
- Let the oil warm up for about 1 minute.
- Fry the halloumi
- Place the slices in the pan without overcrowding.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve
- Transfer to a plate and drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
- Optional: Add cracked black pepper or fresh herbs if you want a little extra flavor.
Tips:
- Do not overcook — halloumi can become rubbery if cooked too long.
- Serve with a simple salad or in a sandwich for a quick meal.
If you want, I can also suggest a visual plating idea that makes this look restaurant-worthy with just these three ingredients.
Do you want me to do that?
