Instructions
- 1
Cut the halloumi cheese into 1-inch cubes.
~5 min - 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and balsamic vinegar.
~2 min - 3
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
~3 min - 4
Add the halloumi cubes to the hot pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly crispy.
~6 min - 5
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.
~3 min - 6
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.
~1 min - 7
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.
