Grilled Cheese Halloumi Recipe in the Air Fryer


  • Author: I
  • Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 8 ounces halloumi cheese, sliced into 1/2-inch thick slices
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano (or your choice of herbs)
• Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
• Optional: Sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, or your favorite bread for serving
• Optional: Fresh herbs (like parsley or basil) for garnish


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Halloumi
1. Slice Halloumi: Cut the halloumi cheese into 1/2-inch thick slices. This thickness helps the cheese grill nicely without falling apart.
2. Season: In a bowl, drizzle the olive oil over the halloumi slices and sprinkle with dried oregano and freshly ground black pepper. Toss gently to coat.

Step 2: Preheat the Air Fryer
1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.

Step 3: Air Fry the Halloumi
1. Arrange in Basket: Place the seasoned halloumi slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not overlapping to ensure even cooking.
2. Cook: Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the halloumi is golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step 4: Serve
1. Garnish: Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
2. Enjoy: Serve warm as an appetizer, snack, or alongside sliced tomatoes and cucumbers. You can also serve it on toasted bread for a delicious sandwich.
