Halloumi cheese is perfect for grilling, roasting or baking. Whether as a main ingredient or as a side dish, this grilled cheese goes well with both savory and fresh, summery dishes. In this post, I’m going to introduce you to my favorite halloumi recipes . I hope you enjoy cooking and feasting ❤️.
Halloumi is a cheese that is traditionally made from goat’s and sheep’s milk, but today often also contains cow’s milk. Its high melting point makes it ideal for the pan and grill – a real all-rounder in the kitchen. Grilled cheese is particularly popular because it remains crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, making it the perfect choice for a variety of recipes.
I have of course been cooking with halloumi for a long time and have already created a few recipes of my own. My family and I can often hardly get enough of it. Here are my favorite halloumi recipes at a glance:
My oriental broccoli salad with crispy baked halloumi & beluga lentils is not only a feast for the eyes, but also for the taste buds. The salad can be served lukewarm or cold.
Palak paneer is a classic Indian curry with spinach and cheese (paneer). But have you ever tried it with halloumi instead of paneer? The frying of this wonderful cheese and the slightly salty taste gives this curry a completely new flavor dimension! It’s the perfect recipe for all curry lovers.
Warm halloumi cheese wrapped in a crispy sesame puff pastry coating, fresh from the oven – simply delicious! I promise you, the recipe is child’s play and the preparation time is even less than 5 minutes. The oven does the rest :).
Today I’m sharing the recipe for these incredibly tasty vegetarian halloumi nuggets with you! Give it a try, you’ll be amazed at how delicious they are. But be careful! You can’t get enough of them 😊
I have created a very tasty recipe here using halloumi and baguette. It’s perfect for a quick lunch, dinner or as a snack between meals.
Halloumi naan is a variation of the classic Indian naan bread, which is prepared in a pan. Instead of enjoying it plain, we fill it with grated halloumi, fresh chili, coriander and spring onions. The result is a cheesy, spicy and crispy pan-fried bread that is ideal as a snack, side dish or main course.
If you love halloumi, you’ll love this easy halloumi recipe for crispy halloumi sticks! They are golden brown and crispy on the outside, tender and full of flavor on the inside. Serve with a chili dip or honey dip – simply delicious.
This simple vegetarian dish is perfect for a hearty breakfast, a quick lunch or as a meal prep. Also ideal to take along to a party, a family celebration or as a side dish at a barbecue. The best thing is that everything goes on one tray and is baked in the oven!
Halloumi has a mild, salty taste with a slightly nutty note. Due to its special texture, it “squeaks” slightly when chewed, which makes it unmistakable. The cheese develops a slightly crispy crust when fried or grilled, while the inside remains tender and juicy. The taste varies depending on the production method: traditionally made from sheep’s and goat’s milk, it is often somewhat more intense, while variants made with cow’s milk taste milder and creamier.
Halloumi is perfect for those who love salty, savory flavors and goes well with numerous spices and ingredients – from Mediterranean herbs to sweet honey or hot chilies.
