Did you know you could grill a big hunk of cheese?! Halloumi has an incredibly high melting point, making it perfect for grilling. The result is a warmed, salty, chewy-hard cheese perfect for all kinds of uses. Here's how to do it.

Preheat outdoor grill or stove-top grill pan over medium-high heat/flame, about 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cut the halloumi into approximately 1/4-1/3 inch slices.
Once hot, place the halloumi on the grill. Flip each slice after about 3 minutes, or once golden brown grill marks appear. Grill on other side then remove from grill. It's done!
Notes
3/21/2024 recipe update: I added oil (vegetable or olive oil) to the ingredient list. When brushed on the grill or grill pan, it helps to keep the cheese from sticking to the surface.
