Pan-Seared Halloumi Steaks in Sweet Balsamic Glaze

Print Recipe

Thick slices of halloumi cheese pan-seared to golden perfection and finished with a sweet, tangy balsamic glaze. A quick and elegant vegetarian dish that’s perfect as a main or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz halloumi cheese, sliced into 1/2-inch thick steaks
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • For the Balsamic Glaze:
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey (and Dijon mustard if using). Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Pat the halloumi slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  3. Heat olive oil in a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add halloumi steaks and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Transfer to a plate and drizzle with the warm balsamic glaze.
  6. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Serve with a side salad, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
  • Halloumi doesn’t melt, making it ideal for searing or grilling.
  • Adjust the sweetness of the glaze to taste by using more or less honey or maple syrup.
