    While the halloumi is cooking, toast the chopped walnuts in a dry small skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Watch closely to prevent burning.

    Once the halloumi is browned, pour the honey-balsamic glaze over it in the pan. Toss gently to coat all the cubes. Cook for another minute until the glaze thickens slightly.

    Remove from heat. Transfer the glazed halloumi to a serving dish. Sprinkle with toasted walnuts and fresh mint, if using.

Tips

  • For extra crunch and flavor, you can toast the walnuts in the same pan after removing the halloumi, before adding the glaze.
  • Serve immediately for the best crispy texture. This appetizer is also delicious at room temperature.
