Ingredients

8 ounces halloumi cheese
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, plus more for garnish
salt to taste
1 tablespoon neutral-flavored oil, such as grapeseed or canola

Directions

1 Slice halloumi into 6 to 8 even pieces.
2 Combine honey, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, thyme leaves, and salt in a shallow bowl. Add halloumi slices and turn to coat each side. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
3 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the cheese slices in the skillet and sear for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, checking regularly to make sure it doesn't burn.
4 Once the halloumi has reached a golden brown color, move to a serving plate. Top with leftover marinade and garnish with additional thyme leaves. Serve with crackers or pita bread.
