Hot Honey Halloumi Cheese - Skillet Static

# What You Need:

01 - 8 oz halloumi cheese, sliced into ½ inch thick pieces

02 - 2 tbsp olive oil

03 - 3 tbsp honey

04 - 1 to 2 tsp hot sauce (such as sriracha or chili flakes), to taste

05 - ½ tsp lemon juice

06 - 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

07 - Lemon wedges, for serving

01 - Pat the halloumi slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

02 - Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

03 - Place halloumi slices in a single layer and fry for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.

04 - In a small bowl, mix honey, hot sauce, and lemon juice until fully combined.

05 - Transfer fried halloumi to a serving plate and drizzle generously with the hot honey glaze.

06 - Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired.

It's ready in 20 minutes total, which means you can go from craving to eating faster than you can overthink it.
The contrast of crispy, salty cheese with spicy-sweet honey creates one of those flavor combinations your brain won't forget.
Works as a snack, appetizer, or side dish—it slides into practically any meal moment.

02 -

Cold halloumi won't fry the same way—it needs to be at room temperature or the texture gets weird and chewy instead of crispy.
Don't skip drying the cheese; I learned this the hard way when my first batch turned into pale, rubbery disappointment.
The hot honey is best drizzled right over warm cheese—waiting even five minutes means the glaze thickens and doesn't coat as beautifully.

03 -

If your hot sauce is very thin and watery, reduce it first in a small saucepan until it's thicker and more intensely flavored.
Make the hot honey the day before and store it in a jar—it gets better as the flavors meld, and you can have instant golden cheese moments whenever you want.
