Hot Honey Halloumi Schnitzel Did you know, that if you soak halloumi in boiling water, you can roll it out and make a halloumi Schnitzel?! I covered these in cornflakes and fried them, so it's really thin and really crispy and honestly, have it with a few chips and it is the BEST weekend dinner I reckon that hot honey makes literally everything taste better...but especially halloumi. You get this sweet, spicy, crispy combo that's so good, it pretty hard to beat. I've written up the recipe for the halloumi below and I would love to know if you're going to give this one a try. A x Makes 4 halloumi steaks 2 blocks of halloumi (cut carefully in half lengthways) 1 large egg beaten A large handful of flour 100g cornflakes crushed to a crumb Oil for frying 130g honey 1 heaped tsp chilli flakes 1 tsp vinegar (I used vinegar from a jalepeno jar) Place the halloumi quarters in boiling water and leave to soak for 20 minutes. Carefully lift them from the pan (one at a time, leave the rest in while you bread the halloumi) and place them on a double sheet of kitchen roll. Place more kitchen roll on top of the halloumi and gently roll it out. When it's thin and double the size leave it to cool completely before moving it. Roll it in flour until coated then tap off excess Dip it in beaten egg, then place on a plate of cornflake crumbs, making sure each side is covered. Repeat with the rest of the halloumi. Fry for a couple of minutes on each side until crisp and golden brown. Place the honey, chilli flakes and vinegar into a pan and gently heat until bubbling. Cut each halloumi Schnitzel into strips, serve with chips and salad and top with the hot honey #delicious #halloumi #halloumirecipes #familyfood #homemade #familydinner #weekendfood #foodideas #dinnerinspo #sotasty #recipes #hothoney

Instructions

  1. Pat halloumi dry and set aside. In three shallow bowls, place flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with smoked paprika.
  2. Dredge each halloumi slice in flour, dip in egg, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to help crumbs stick.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, fry the halloumi slices until golden and crispy on both sides (about 2–3 minutes per side). Drain on paper towels.
  4. In a small pan, warm honey, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt until just bubbling. Remove from heat.
  5. Drizzle hot honey generously over fried halloumi.
  6. Serve warm with lemon wedges or fresh herbs. Pairs beautifully with a crisp salad, fries, or in a sandwich.
