Directions
Halloumi is the delicious ‘squeaky cheese’ from Cyprus that is now available all over the world. Halloumi is popular because it is so versatile. It tastes great , cooked in slices on the barbecue and is equally tasty fried. You can cut the Halloumi into matchsticks and gently fry them as a snack for children and eat it straight from the fridge with some slices of tomato and some pitta bread. This traybake is quick to prepare and ideal for a hungry family.
