# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The salty cheese against sweet spicy honey creates that perfect restaurant style appetizer at home
  • It comes together in twenty minutes flat but looks like you planned it for days
02 -
  • Halloumi releases moisture as it cooks so do not crowd the pan or the temperature will drop too much
  • The glaze thickens fast so have your serving platter ready before you start frying
03 -
  • Room temperature halloumi cooks more evenly than cold straight from the fridge
  • Mint or cilantro can completely change the flavor profile if you want variety
