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.

- 8 oz halloumi cheese

Cut the halloumi into 1 1/2” cubes. Pat dry with paper towels. Place on metal skewers and brush with olive oil.
Let your charcoal turn gray in your chimney starter. Pour on the grill and place on the grill grate. Allow the grate to get hot for a couple minutes. Place the halloumi skewers directly over the charcoal.
Grill for a couple minutes on all 4 sides; about 8-10 minutes in total.
Drizzle over honey and serve.
