Delicious Halloumi Fries

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to bring this delicious dish to life:

  • 250g halloumi cheese
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular, your choice)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola works best)
  • Optional: paprika or cayenne for a little kick!

Instructions

Alright, here’s how to create these crispy beauties step-by-step:

  1. Start by cutting the halloumi cheese into thick strips, about ½ inch wide. This is where the magic happens!
  2. Set up your breading station. You’ll need three shallow bowls: one for flour (seasoned with salt and pepper), one for the whisked eggs, and the last for the breadcrumbs.
  3. Coat each halloumi strip in flour, dip it into the egg wash, and then roll it in the breadcrumbs. Make sure you get a nice even coating on all sides.
  4. Once you’ve finished breading all your halloumi strips, it’s time to fry! Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
  5. Carefully add the breaded halloumi strips to the hot oil. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  6. Once done, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil. It’s hard to resist snacking on these right away!
  7. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce – ranch or a spicy aioli works great!

Now you’re ready to enjoy these cheesy, crunchy Halloumi Fries! They make for an awesome appetizer or a fun snack. Trust me, once you take that first bite, you’ll be hooked!
