What is Halloumi?
Origins and Characteristics of Halloumi Cheese
Halloumi cheese originates from Cyprus and is widely used in Mediterranean cuisine. Made from a mixture of goat’s and sheep’s milk (sometimes with cow’s milk), it has a firm texture and a high melting point, which makes it ideal for frying or grilling.
Unlike most cheeses that melt when heated, Halloumi retains its shape, forming a golden crispy crust on the outside while staying soft and chewy inside.
Why Halloumi is Perfect for Breakfast Sandwiches
Crispy texture – Adds a satisfying crunch.
Salty, savory flavor – Pairs well with eggs, veggies, and sauces.
High protein content – Keeps you full longer.
Versatile – Works with different types of bread and toppings.
Ingredients
Directions
- Add eggs to a small bowl; stir in bell peppers and onion, and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat, and spray with olive oil spray. Place two egg rings in the skillet, and pour in the egg mixture, dividing equally between the rings. When eggs are opaque and starting to solidify, about 8 to 10 minutes, release the egg by running a knife around the inside of the ring. Flip the egg and cook about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- While eggs are cooking, heat olive oil in another skillet over medium heat. Cook sausage patties on one side of the skillet, turning once, until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes. On the other side of the skillet, cook halloumi slices until they are just starting to turn light golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- To assemble the sandwich, place cheese on the bottom half of an English muffin. Next, layer egg on the cheese and top with a sausage patty. Repeat for the second sandwich.
- Season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
