3-Ingredient Pan-Fried Halloumi

As a cheese enthusiast, discovering halloumi felt like a revelation. Its unique ability to hold its shape under heat makes it perfect for pan-frying, transforming into a crispy, golden delight with a soft, salty interior. This incredibly simple recipe, inspired by countless happy experiments with my friend Sarah during our college days, is a testament to the fact that the best dishes often require the fewest ingredients. It’s a quick, satisfying treat that never fails to bring back wonderful memories.

Why This Recipe Works

Halloumi is a semi-hard cheese with a high melting point, which means it won’t turn gooey in the pan. Instead, it develops a beautifully crisp, golden-brown crust while staying firm. With just three core ingredients, the method is key: patting the cheese dry ensures a superior sear, and a hot pan is essential for that perfect crunch.
