Ingredients

1 avocado

2 soft rolls (I used Turkish bread)

1 pack of Halloumi (around 225 gms)
-
2 tbsps. Soka Pantry Hot honey (plus extra for drizzling)
-
1/2 green apple, sliced thin
-
Handful of rocket
-
Squeeze of lemon juice

Salt and pepper, according to taste
Directions
Cut the halloumi into thick slices, pan fry. Pat dry with a paper towel,
Fry the slices in a single layer in a non-stick pan on medium heat.
Drizzle one tablespoon of hot honey and fry until golden brown. Flip and repeat on the other side.
In the meantime, mash the avocado until smooth with a squeeze of lemon, salt and pepper.
To assemble, toast the bread, spread with smashed avocado, halloumi (drizzle more hot honey if desired), apple slices and rocket. Place the other slice of bread on top and serve right away.
Recipe Note
What can I swap the halloumi with?
You can swap the halloumi with thin slices of firm cottage cheese (paneer) or firm tofu.
What bread can I use instead of Turkish bread?
Focaccia or ciabatta are a great alternative to sourdough for this toasted sandwich recipe.
What can I use instead of the Soka pantry hot honey?
For a quick hot honey recipe, mix 2-3 tbsps. of honey with a tsp. of chilli flakes. Microwave for 15-20 seconds and stir, then set aside for 10-15 minutes to infuse before using.
Can I store this halloumi sandwich or prep it ahead of time?
I’d suggest eating this sandwich within a few hours of making it as the avocado will start turning bitter the longer it sits. For eg. if you’re making it in the morning, I’d eat it by lunchtime. The sandwich doesn’t reheat well, so eat I’d recommend eating it fresh.
