Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz halloumi cheese
  • 2 ciabatta rolls
  • 1/2 cup jarred roasted red peppers
  • 1 cup baby arugula
  • 2 tbsp basil pesto
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Method
 

  1. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Slice halloumi into four 3/4-inch planks and pat dry.
  2. Add oil to the pan, cook halloumi 2 to 3 minutes per side until deeply golden, then remove to a plate.
  3. Place rolls cut-side down in the pan and toast 1 minute until lightly golden.
  4. Spread pesto on rolls, layer halloumi, peppers, and arugula, close sandwiches, and serve immediately.

Notes

Halloumi can be salty, so taste your pesto before adding any extra salt. If your block is large and you end up with grilled slices left over, they make a great salad topping.
