  2. Lay the breaded slices of halloumi in a single layer in the basket.
Cooking

  2. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Serving

Notes

Serve with a refreshing salad or roasted vegetables. To elevate the dish, drizzle with honey or balsamic glaze. Store leftover halloumi in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
