Halloumi Fries

What is it?

Halloumi cut into fry shapes, then coated in breadcrumbs and fried until the outside turns crisp and golden. Inside, the cheese stays firm and springy, with that salty, squeaky texture halloumi is known for. Served as a vegetarian side, they sit in the starters and sides range alongside fries, wedges, and wings, but with cheese doing the heavy lifting instead of potato or chicken. Breadcrumb coating adds a crunchy shell that contrasts with the dense, chewy interior, and the salt from the halloumi means you won't need much extra seasoning. Dip them in a chilli jam or sweet chilli sauce for a sharper contrast. Best eaten hot, before the cheese firms up and the coating loses its crunch.
