Subtitle: Halloumi—Cyprus's golden gift to the culinary world—is a cheese that refuses to melt. Instead, it sears into a crisp-edged, squeaky, salt-kissed delight that sings of sun-drenched terraces and slow summer evenings.
Let me tell you about the first time I had pan-fried halloumi.
I was in my late twenties, and I was at a Mediterranean restaurant. I ordered a dish with halloumi cheese. I had never tried it before. When it arrived, I took a bite, and I was hooked. It was crispy, salty, and squeaky.
I asked the server about it, and she told me it was halloumi. I knew I had to learn how to make it at home.
