Halloumi Fries?

Halloumi fries are crispy, golden-brown sticks of fried halloumi cheese, served hot and often accompanied by various dips. They are known for their unique texture and flavor, marrying a chewy interior with a crunchy exterior. Popular as an appetizer or snack, halloumi fries are a favorite in Mediterranean and modern cuisine; they are often garnished with herbs or served with sauces like tzatziki or spicy tomato relish.

Origins & History

Originating from Cyprus, halloumi cheese has become popular in many parts of the world, especially in Mediterranean cuisine. The method of frying halloumi to create fries has become a trendy dish in restaurants due to the cheese's high melting point, allowing it to hold its shape much like a potato fry when heated.

Taste & Texture

Halloumi fries have a savory and slightly salty flavor, with the frying process adding a rich, crispy texture. The interior remains soft and chewy, providing a delightful contrast with each bite. When paired with dips or sauces, the flavor can vary from tangy to spicy, enhancing the cheese's natural taste.
