You'll want to eat the cheese as soon as possible after it comes out of the pan-it's most magical when hot.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4-6

Ingredients

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
2 teaspoons agave nectar
1 serrano chile, seeds removed if desired, minced
Freshly ground black pepper
6 ounces strawberries, hulled, sliced
1 8-9-ounce package halloumi cheese, cut into 8 slices
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    To make the dressing, whisk together 3 tablespoons oil, lime juice, agave nectar, chile, and pepper to taste. Toss with strawberries and set aside.

    Step 2

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. When hot, add halloumi. Cook cheese for 2-3 minutes per side without disturbing, until a deep brown crust forms.

    Step 3

    Remove cheese from skillet and spoon straw- berry mixture over slices of cheese. Top with mint and cilantro and serve immediately, while cheese is still warm.
