Description

These Halloumi dippers are a delightful treat, offering a satisfyingly crisp exterior that gives way to a warm, yielding interior. The halloumi, known for its firm texture and salty tang, is perfectly complemented by a light coating of finely ground almonds, creating a delicate, nutty crust that enhances, rather than overpowers, the cheese's inherent flavor. A subtle hint of spice adds a gentle warmth, awakening the palate and providing a pleasant counterpoint to the richness of the halloumi.

Imagine biting into these golden-brown morsels, the initial crunch leading to a soft, slightly chewy texture as the halloumi melts in your mouth. The salty, savory flavor is balanced by the subtle sweetness of the almonds and the intriguing warmth of the spice blend, creating a symphony of tastes that dance on your tongue. The aroma alone is enough to entice, a tempting blend of toasted nuts, warm cheese, and fragrant spices.

These dippers are incredibly versatile, lending themselves to a variety of occasions. They make an excellent side dish, adding a touch of elegance to a simple meal. As a snack, they offer a satisfying and flavorful pick-me-up, perfect for curbing those mid-afternoon cravings.

And when presented as an appetizer at a dinner party, they are sure to impress your guests, offering a sophisticated and delicious start to the evening. Best enjoyed warm, these halloumi dippers are a delightful experience from the first bite to the last. The simple recipe allows for customization, making it easy to adjust the spice level or herb additions according to your individual taste.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 390 degrees Fahrenheit.
    2.
    Slice the halloumi into thick strips – about 2cm
    3.
    Add the ground almonds, chili flakes and pepper to a mixing bowl. Stir well to combine.
    4.
    Crack the egg into a small bowl and whisk well.
    5.
    Place each halloumi strip in turn into the egg mixture, then into the almond mixture so that it is finely coated. It is easiest to do this using tongs to prevent the mixture sticking to your hands.
    6.
    Arrange the dippers on a very lightly greased oven tray and place in the center of the oven to bake for 4 minutes on each side. The breading will be lightly golden.
    7.
    Serve immediately.
