Because it doesn’t melt as quickly as other cheeses, grilled and pan fried halloumi are very popular options, and grilled halloumi is also a fantastic meat substitute. As a note, if you’re monitoring your intake of salt, keep in mind that halloumi cheese has a hefty amount of sodium, and it is also high in fat. Love this recipe?
