# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in literally twenty minutes but looks and tastes like something from a restaurant menu
  • The salty-sweet-spicy combo hits every craving receptor at once
02 -
  • Halloumi can go from golden to burnt quickly once it starts browning, so watch closely after the first minute
  • The honey glaze thickens as it cools, so drizzle right after frying for the best texture
03 -
  • Let halloumi come to room temperature for fifteen minutes before cooking for more even browning
  • If the glaze is too thick, warm it for five seconds in the microwave
