Ingredients
  • 4 oz Halloumi cheese
  • 1/2 Avocado
  • 2 English muffins
  • 1 tsp Hot honey
  • 1 tsp Olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp Lemon juice
  • pinch Red pepper flakes
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black pepper

Prepare the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium heat. Clean the grates with a wire brush and lightly oil them to prevent sticking.

Grill the Halloumi

Slice the halloumi cheese into approximately 1/4-inch thick pieces. Brush lightly with olive oil. Place the halloumi slices on the preheated grill. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and grill marks appear.

Grill the Muffins (Optional)

Lightly butter the cut sides of the English muffins (optional). Place the muffins, butter-side down, on the preheated grill. Grill for 1-2 minutes, or until lightly toasted and grill marks appear. If you prefer, you can simply toast the muffins in a toaster.

Prepare the Avocado

While the halloumi is grilling, mash the avocado in a small bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra flavor (optional).

Assemble the Sandwiches

Spread the mashed avocado on the bottom half of each English muffin. Top with the grilled halloumi slices. Drizzle with hot honey and top with the other half of the muffin. Serve immediately.

FAQ

  • What is halloumi cheese?

    Halloumi is a semi-hard, unripened brined cheese made from a mixture of goat's and sheep's milk. It has a high melting point, making it ideal for grilling and frying.
  • What if I don't have hot honey?

    You can use regular honey and add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a similar flavor. Or, skip the honey altogether.
  • Can I use a different type of bread?

    Yes, you can use other types of bread, such as sourdough or ciabatta rolls. Adjust the grilling time accordingly.
