Halloumi is a Mediterranean cheese that’s tangy and lightly salty. When traditionally grilled, it develops a wonderfully crisp and savory crust. The addition of honey and lemon here complements it beautifully.

Instructions
- Preheat nonstick pan over medium-high heat.
- Season halloumi with salt and pepper. Sear halloumi for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Meanwhile mix honey with lemon zest, and remaining olive oil, season with salt and pepper.
- Place halloumi on serving platter, and top with honey mixture. Finish by squeezing the grilled lemon over top and finishing with fresh thyme.
- Serve with Citarella baguette, olives, and enjoy!
