# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The contrast between crispy golden edges and that soft salty center is absolutely addictive
  • Hot honey might sound strange but the sweet heat cuts through the richness perfectly
  • Twenty minutes from start to finish means last minute appetizers are actually possible
02 -
  • Halloumi releases moisture as it cooks, so don't be alarmed if your pan gets a little wet or noisy, that's totally normal and part of the process
  • The glaze thickens quickly if you let it sit, so whisk it again right before drizzling and consider warming it for 10 seconds if it's too thick to pour
03 -
  • Room temperature halloumi fries more evenly than cold from the fridge, so take it out 20 minutes before you start cooking
  • A cast iron skillet creates the most beautiful crust, but non stick is absolutely fine and makes cleanup way easier
