Honey Grilled Halloumi & Tomato in Pitta Bread
As the sun warms our skin and grills fire up across the land, there's one flavour combination that truly sings: honey-glazed halloumi. This salty cheese, known for its beautiful golden sear, pairs perfectly with the sweetness of honey, creating a combination of flavours that's both simple and satisfying.

Ingredients
- 2 pitta breads
- 6-9 slices of halloumi
- 1 tbsp squeezy honey
- 1 large tomato, sliced thinly
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt to taste
- pinch of chilli flakes, optional
- pinch of dried parsley, optional
- 1 clove garlic, optional
Pair it with
Instructions
- Place the sliced tomatoes on a large plate and drizzle over 1 tbsp of olive oil and sprinkle over some salt, and dried parsley if using.
- In a small frying pan, heat up the other tablespoon of oil and place the sliced halloumi into the pan. Squeeze over the honey and let this cook for around 2-3 minus on each side, flipping it over once golden brown. Add a little chilli flakes here if you'd like. Remove and set aside once cooked.
- Cut the pitta bread in half and hollow out the centre, toast for a few minutes until lightly crunchy. If you'd like some garlicky flavour, rub the clove of garlic over the toasted breads which will give it some garlicky aroma.
- Stuff the inside of the toasted pitta bread with the marinated tomatoes and the grilled halloumi. Enjoy while hot!
Tip:
- Feel free to serve it with some chopped olives as well for extra saltiness and flavour.
- Instead of rubbing garlic over the bread, you can also add some minced garlic to the tomatoes while it marinates.
