Perfect for nibbling, or as a starter with a few drizzles of sweet tangy raspberry balsamic glaze and quality olive oil, these pan-fried Halloumi cheese are crisp, sticky, chewy and totally delicious. It is best served warm and you can complement it with different kinds of seasonal fruit, fresh mint or oregano leaves. Once it cools down, halloumi will get rubbery again. It can be reheated slightly, but the taste and texture won't be the same.
Tangy and salty with squeaky spongy texture, Halloumi (or Haloumi) is a semihard, unripened, and brined cheese traditionally made with goat's and/or sheep's milk. It's most used as a grilling/frying cheese because it maintains its shape when heated. It can be found in most supermarkets or specialty stores. I bought mine in ALDI.

- Heat a non-stick grill pan or frying pan over medium-high heat. Brush halloumi slices lightly with olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon juice too if you like. Cook halloumi for 1-2 minutes. When it starts to brown and crisp up turn the slices over and cook on the other side for another minute or two.
- Arrange halloumi on a plate with the gooseberries or cherries and mint. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and balsamic glaze and season with freshly milled pepper.

You can't go wrong with pan-fried halloumi! What a fun starter to share!
This looks very delicious ;)
this looks beautiful Angie, really beautiful! xo
I love the "squeakiness" of halloumi! And, I love it with fruit. This looks so good.
Angie, I love the fruity twist you gave this delicious Halloumi. It looks so addicting and delicious!
That is my favourite cheese, love the saltiness and texture of it specially just right off the grill. Yum!!!
This plate looks awesome!
I am drooling :)
These few ingredients are just what you need because each holds a distinct bold flavor and when put together, will be so in harmony!
Halloumi is new to me. It looks and sounds delicious.
We just had some friends over for a socially responsible dinner al fresco and she brought a grilled halloumi salad with grilled peaches, it was wonderful. Love your salad too, will try it next time for sure.

Haloumi is a great treat and so perfect with balsamic glaze and mint. Great idea!
Great way to prepare halloumi! Love the idea of pairing it with gooseberries. I don't see those in our markets that much these days -- only farmers markets. Alas. :-) Neat dish -- thanks.
What a tasty combination!
This sounds wonderful and your photos are gorgeous! I love how those berries are all over so nice!
Fruit and cheese makes an excellent starter...though I'd be happy with this yummy combination for lunch, too!
I've never done anything with Halloumi because I have a hard time finding it. Your salad looks so awesome that it has inspired me to look a little harder. A beautiful seasonal salad Angie!
I wonder if I can get Halloumi -- this sounds like a good idea. We definitely never see gooseberries here in the US. I don't know what they taste like!

Yum! Looks wonderful! I love fried halloumi. So delicious served with the cherries. I haven't tried gooseberries before, but now I think I'll have to!
I just fried Halloumi for the first time the other day and my entire family loved it! I will try this salad as a way to serve it next. Lovely! :-) ~Valentina
I've been thinking of making my own halloumi cheese but haven't gotten around to it yet - might have to just buy some so I can try this recipe
This sounds yummy. I would love it.
I've only had pan fried Halloumi once and remember how much I enjoy it! The raspberry balsamic glaze sounds wonderful. The gooseberries might be a little more difficult to find here :)

I really like halloumi and your food looks delicious
Looooove the gorgeous grill marks!
