Haloumi Burger Inspired by Donna Hay with Roasted Tomato & Grilled Eggplant
Haloumi tip: You need very little oil in your pan! Because haloumi releases liquid as it cooks, it doesn’t tend to stick – but it’s worth using a non-stick pan anyway, just in case. After a minute or two, the haloumi will begin to release some liquid. Don’t flip the cheese just yet. Wait until the liquid has all been released. When the underside is browned to your liking, flip each slice over, and repeat with the other side. This time it will brown a lot quicker, as all the liquid has already been released.
