Start by slicing the halloumi cheese into 1/2 inch thick slabs. Make sure not to slice it too thin, or it may break apart on the grill
Next, heat a grill or griddle pan over medium heat. You want the pan to be hot, but not smoking
Brush both sides of the halloumi with olive oil. This will prevent the cheese from sticking to the grill
Place the halloumi on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side. You're looking for a golden brown color and a slight crust
Once the halloumi is cooked, serve it with a squeeze of fresh lemon. The tartness of the lemon pairs perfectly with the salty, savory halloumi
