Grilled Halloumi Cheese

Halloumi is a Cypriot semi-hard, unripened brined cheese traditionally made from a mixture of goat's and sheep's milk. It has a high melting point, making it ideal for grilling or frying. I like to cut mine into cubes, skewer them, grill, and drizzle with honey. Halloumi is also great in salads or as a meat substitute in pita sandwiches and wraps.
