Description

Ingredients

• 50g Panko Breadcrumbs
• 250g Halloumi Cheese
• 1 Egg
• ¾ Teaspoon Dried Oregano
• Freshly Ground Black Pepper
• 20g Plain Flour
• 300ml Sunflower, Vegetable or Olive oil

Directions

• Pour your oil into a small saucepan, it should be about an inch deep depending on the size of your pan.
• Cut your halloumi into slices about 1cm thick, pour the flour onto a plate and add the halloumi slices. Toss until well coated.
• Tip the panko breadcrumbs onto a plate and mix with the dried oregano and a good grind of black pepper.
• Whisk the egg, add the floured halloumi a slice at a time and coat with the egg.
• Place each slice straight into the panko breadcrumb mixture and coat with breadcrumbs.
• Test the oil by adding a crust of bread, if it froths and bubbles and the bread turns golden in 30 secs it is ready.
• Add the slices of halloumi frying them in small batches (two or three at a time) so the temperature of the oil isnt reduced.
• Fry for about 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side, or until beautifully golden brown.
• Place some kitchen roll onto a plate, and using a slotted spoon gently lift out the fried cheese slices as they are ready and place on the kitchen roll to drain off some of the oil.
• Serve as soon as all the cheese has been fried, eat as it is or dipped in runny honey.
