    Grilling Cheese?!?

    We picked this up at the store today. What should I do with it? Recommendations on recipes and temperatures?

    Love some "seared" halloumi!
    I've never cooked mine over an open flame. I always do it in a skillet to get a better spread of "seared" crust. I use a medium heat.

        Are you looking for a recipe for grilled halloumi or a recipe where it is used as an ingredient in something else? I recall a recipe I'd really like to try that a new (at the time) member posted about a while back, but I had since forgotten about it. Cyprus BBQ club mentioned a fig and halloumi stuffed pork loin. It's somewhere in the following thread. https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/fo...889#post839889

        I'd be willing to bet he has a few other recipes/ideas for halloumi, though I don't know if he is still active in the pit. Looks like he is/was a trial member.

        All I can say is make sure it's cold when you smoke it. Someone here posted that room temp Halloumi melts on the grill before it browns.

          depends on the brand, stuff I got in the UK never melted and would sometimes be sitting out for quite a while before cooking. I've had more hit and miss experience with brands available in the US.

        Just type the word "halloumi" into the Pit search box and you'll get multiple hits on recent conversations about it.

          A trick to grill cheese like this (learned from doing provolone like Argentine style provoleta), is to leave the cheese out uncovered so it forms a 'skin'. That should help it keep its shape a little better. Serve with some chimichrurri.

            I made grilled halloumi and watermelon skewers. For the first time ever I softened the halloumi in nearly boiling water for 20 minutes before skewering. They turned out great. It's an unusual, flavorful recipe:

            I am obsessed with this tamarind dip and eat it with almost anything. It works really well with these skewers – a mixture of crisp bread, juicy watermelon and salty halloumi.


            Here are a bunch of recipes using halloumi:

            Halloumi is brilliant - it's great for quick dinners and veggie barbecues. BBC Food has halloumi recipes for every occasion. Try it in veggie burgers, risottos, pastas or even as a veggie alternative to bacon.


            I usually grill it in a grill pan on the cooktop or on my Grill Grates in the gasser.

            Halloumi is awesome grilled. Just sear it over high heat. A cast iron pan helps a lot. I’ve cooked it hundreds of times, always so tasty! Sear it on both sides for 2 minutes. The color guides you.

              I have four chunks of the cheese, so I will be experimenting!

              Agreed. Halloumi and a cast iron pan are the perfect match.

              I should add that I always slice it, 2/8” thick slices. Sometimes a bit thicker. Then sear in a CI pan.

            OMG. This stuff is amazing. Seared in CI skillet for a few minutes. SO good.
