My latest obsession: Halloumi cheese! In case you haven’t tried it yet, it’s a brined cheese made from a mixture of goat’s and sheep’s milk. These salty and delectable bites make for a great addition to salads, wraps, and kebabs. Or just pan-fried and nibbled straight from the pan!
In this recipe, I’ve pair fried halloumi bites with fresh veggies to create a light yet satisfying appetizer. Make these for your next big dinner party or intimate get together with girlfriends for a healthy treat. Plus, don’t forget to check out the recipe notes to see how you can easily flip a few ingredients to transform these skewers into a more summery appetizer!
Halloumi Cheese Skewers Recipe
Halloumi Cheese Skewers
Ingredients
- Halloumi cheese
- Oil, for spraying pan
- Sliced zucchini
- Chopped bell pepper
- Cherry tomatoes
- Lemon juice, optional
Instructions
-
Cut the halloumi into bite-size squares. I like to slice it thinly to give it more surface area so that it crisps all over.
-
In a lightly oiled frying pan over medium heat, brown each piece of halloumi on both sides, about 6 minutes total. Remove to cool on a plate.
-
In the same skillet, char the sliced zucchini and tomatoes for a few minutes on each side just to add color. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Thread the halloumi, zucchini, bell peppers, and tomatoes onto skewers.
-
Lightly squirt fresh lemon juice on top of the skewers and serve.
Recipe Notes
- Play around with quantities depending on how many skewers you're making or how filling you want to make each one.
