Ingredients
This recipe uses three main ingredients.
250 grams halloumi cheese or another suitable firm frying cheese
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1–2 tablespoons olive oil, or enough to lightly coat the frying pan
Optional seasonings include dried oregano, chopped parsley, black pepper, paprika, or a little garlic powder. These are not necessary for the basic recipe, but they can add extra flavor.
Important: Different cheeses behave differently when heated. Halloumi and other firm frying cheeses generally hold their shape better than soft mozzarella or fresh cheese. If you substitute another variety, the texture and cooking results may change.
