Ingredients
1 block (about 250g) halloumi cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon (optional, but highly recommended for serving)

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Cheese
Unwrap the halloumi and pat it completely dry with paper towels—this step is essential for crispiness. Slice into ½-inch thick pieces.

Step 2: Fry Until Golden
Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat with olive oil. Lay the slices in a single layer, without overcrowding. Cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes per side
