Grilled Halloumi Sandwich
Cyprus / Eastern Mediterranean
History
Halloumi, the firm brined cheese of Cyprus, has a high melting point that lets it grill to a golden, squeaky crust without melting away — perfect for a sandwich. Tucked into pita or crusty bread with tomato, cucumber, herbs and a squeeze of lemon, the grilled halloumi sandwich has become a Mediterranean and vegetarian favourite far beyond Cyprus.
