Good quality extra virgin olive oil for sauteing and more for dressing
1 8-ounce package Halloumi cheese, sliced
Mint leaves, torn
Lemon wedge for spritzing
Instructions
Slice your watermelon into 3 – 4″ pieces, about 1″ thick and spread out over a serving platter. I slice off a wheel of watermelon and then cut the slice like a pie into 6 – 8 triangular pieces.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Add a splash of olive oil and allow the pan to warm up. Add slices of Halloumi cheese and cook, watching closely. Flip when golden brown and cook until golden brown on the second side. Remove from heat.
Alternatively, Halloumi can be tossed in olive oil and baked in a 400 degree oven. Check after 5 minutes and flip when golden brown. Continue baking until both sides are golden brown.
Place a slice of warm Halloumi on top of each watermelon slice. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with torn mint and spritz with lemon wedge. Serve immediately.
Notes
Halloumi becomes chewy when it cools, so to get the best Halloumi experience, serve immediately.
