  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 4 minute

Ingredients

– 8 oz halloumi cheese, sliced into ½-inch thick pieces
– 4 small pita breads
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 tablespoons hot honey (or more to taste)
– 1 cup arugula or mixed greens
– ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– ¼ cup cucumber, sliced
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Lemon wedges, for serving


Instructions

Creating Hot Honey Halloumi Pitas is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Halloumi: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let it warm up.
2. Cook the Halloumi: Once the oil is hot, add the halloumi slices. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and crispy.
3. Drizzle with Hot Honey: After flipping the halloumi, drizzle hot honey over the slices while they cook on the second side. Adjust the amount based on your spice preference.
4. Warm the Pita: While the halloumi is cooking, you can warm the pita breads in a separate pan or microwave for about 10-15 seconds until soft.
5. Assemble the Pitas: Once the halloumi is done, remove it from the skillet. Place a few slices of halloumi in each pita pocket.
6. Add Veggies: Top the halloumi with arugula, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber. Feel free to add any additional toppings you enjoy.
7. Season: Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Serve: Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.

These straightforward steps will help you create a delicious meal that is sure to leave your taste buds singing!
