Halloumi Fries

What is it?

Strips of halloumi cheese come coated in a crisp breading, then fried so the outside stays crunchy while the centre turns hot and chewy. They’re served with a dipping sauce, usually in a small portion meant for sharing or as a side to a meal. Compared with McDonald’s standard fries, these lean more savoury and springy, with the cheese doing the heavy lifting rather than the potato. In the UK, they’ve shown up as a limited-time item rather than a permanent part of the menu, which is why they pop in and out of the lineup.
