Serves 3-4
I love this simple appetizer: grilled cheese, literally. You’d seldom think to use an outside grill for cheese because it would just melt all over, but Halloumi is a super hearty Greek cheese that’s just perfect for grilling. And served alongside some grilled tomatoes it’s even better.
INGREDIENTS
- 8 ounce block Halloumi cheese
- 6 roma tomatoes, halved
- Extra virgin live oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Fresh ground pepper
- Baguette, grilled for serving
DIRECTIONS
- Heat grill to medium
- Slice cheese in half to make 2 half inch thick pieces
- Brush both sides of each cheese and grill until well marked on all sides
- When you flip the cheese, oil tomatoes and add to grill cut side down
- Cook tomatoes until softened and marked – remove to serving plate with cheese
- Sprinkle cheese & tomatoes with oregano, drizzle with a little extra oil and serve with bread
