Tips
- Use a dry pan with no fat — halloumi is fatty enough to fry in its own fat.
- Cut the slices 1 cm thick and pat them dry; wet cheese does not brown.
- Do not move it while frying until the crust forms, otherwise it sticks.
- Serve immediately, because cold it hardens and turns rubbery.

Why is my halloumi rubbery?
It was fried too long or cooled down. Fry it briefly and serve hot.
