Before I ate these Halloumi Cheese Fries with Sesame, I didn’t think I’d be able to enjoy a whole block of cheese at once. I stand corrected. Have you ever heard someone moan after trying something delicious? i did this
I like my halloumi quite salty so I didn’t soak it first and the end result contrasts nicely with the sweetness of the hot honey. At first I had my doubts that the halloumi wedges would work without a full breading station, but they certainly did, and mine looked absolutely like the recipe author’s photo.
When buying Aleppo pepper flakes, ask if they’re mild or spicy, as I’ve seen both and it will affect the cook time of your hot honey. Aleppo is a pepper I am always drawn to because it has so much flavor and will therefore make a great addition to your pantry if you don’t already have it.
Don’t be afraid to let the hot honey simmer longer than recommended if it’s not quite as spicy as you’d like, and try not to burn your tongue tasting it like I did.
Serve these fries as an appetizer or with a hearty main course.
