Once the pan is hot, add the halloumi slices in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap.\r\n\r\nCook for 2 minutes on one side, or until golden. Use a fish slice to check the undersides- if they need more colour then give it another minute and check again.\r\n\r\nCarefully turn the slices and cook for between 1–2 minutes on the other side, until golden.
