🧀 Honey-Glazed Halloumi Bites with Herbs ✨
Golden, caramelized halloumi cheese bites coated in a sweet and slightly spicy honey glaze, garnished with fresh rosemary for a festive appetizer.
Ingredients
Halloumi Bites:
8 oz halloumi cheese, cut into bite-sized rectangles
1 tbsp olive oil
Glaze:
3 tbsp honey
1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
Topping and Garnish:
1 tbsp fresh rosemary or thyme leaves
Freshly ground black pepper
Flaky sea salt (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Prepare the Cheese:
Pat the halloumi dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Cut into even, bite-sized rectangles.
Sear the Halloumi:
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the halloumi pieces and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Glaze:
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low. Add the honey, chili flakes, smoked paprika, and balsamic vinegar. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Coat the Halloumi:
Return the seared halloumi to the skillet, tossing gently to coat the pieces in the honey glaze. Cook for an additional 1 minute, ensuring the cheese is evenly coated and caramelized.
Serve:
Arrange the glazed halloumi bites on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme leaves, a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper, and flaky sea salt, if desired.
Enjoy:
Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or part of a festive charcuterie board.
