For years I’ve mooned and sighed as I leafed through my British food magazines eyeing the halloumi recipes, wishing I could get that heat resistant, yummy cheese here. Especially evocative were peppery arugla salads with lemon-laced dressings topped with golden slices of semi molten cheese – I salivate just typing such descriptions!
Finally, the halloumi trend has come to Canada. Imported halloumi is turning up at supermarkets more often, but even better, this trend has inspired local cheese makers such as the Upper Canada cheese company (that’s their grilling style cheese called Guernsey Girl pictured above) to get in on the action, too.
Besides being a great topper for salads, grilled slices of cheese are delish on sandwiches and burgers, too. So many possibilities!
