Any excuse to eat Halloumi for breakfast-or for a snack-I’m all there.
Again, here I am maybe pushing people’s willingness to accept toast as a sandwich for sandwich week, but the French have their tartines…and if the French can pull it off, then this wannabe Francophile’s going to try as well.
Halloumi is a Cypriot cheese, traditionally combining goat and sheep’s milk, to make a semi-hard cheese; cow’s milk has been added more recently to reduce costs, but if you can find a goat/sheep variety only, all the better! Especially for those who are dairy-sensitive. It’s a salty brined cheese-you’ll often find it vacuum-packed with a little brine mixed with herbs and spices-similar to mozzarella in flavor, but much more interesting. It can be fried, grilled or pan-seared without melting and forms a beautiful golden-brown crust. It makes a wonderful complement to the crisp bread and creamy avocado in this toast.
It’s super filling, even though it’s meat-free. The perfect breakfast for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike because you don’t feel like you’re missing out…and you still get CHEESE. Lots and lots of cheese. I could eat this for-two serving all by myself, but shh don’t tell anyone. You are the master of your own kitchen.
