    ~8 min
  5. 5

    Reduce the heat to low. Pour the prepared glaze over the halloumi in the pan. Toss gently to coat all the pieces, allowing the glaze to thicken slightly for 1-2 minutes.

    ~3 min

Tips

  • For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of sumac to the glaze.
  • Serve immediately while the halloumi is warm and the glaze is glossy. These do not store well once glazed.
