Sainsbury's Breaded Halloumi Fries
What it is
These are halloumi cheese sticks coated in a seasoned breadcrumb mixture. Halloumi is a firm, brined cheese that originates from Cyprus. It has a high melting point, making it ideal for frying or grilling without losing its shape. The breading adds a crispy texture and a savory flavor to the cheese.
How people cook with it
These halloumi fries are a versatile addition to many meals. They can be served as a side dish or a snack.
- Appetizer with dipping sauce
- Side for burgers
- Salad topping
- Snack with drinks
To prepare, heat your oven or air fryer. Place the frozen halloumi fries in a single layer on a baking tray or in the air fryer basket. Cook according to the package directions, turning halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy. Ensure they are heated through before serving. They are best enjoyed immediately after cooking for maximum crispness.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh halloumi, these fries are pre-breaded and frozen. This means they are ready to cook straight from the freezer and offer a consistent crispy coating. Fresh halloumi requires slicing and breading if you want a similar texture, which takes more preparation time.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick and easy cheese-based appetizer or side dish.
How to keep the rest
Keep these halloumi fries frozen in your freezer until ready to cook. Once opened, reseal the packaging tightly to prevent freezer burn. Store in the coldest part of your freezer to maintain quality.
