Method

4 steps · 10 minutes

Cut the halloumi into 1/2 inch slabs and pat them dry. Wet cheese steams rather than browning, which is the whole difference here.
Dry-fry them in a hot pan for 2 minutes a side until deeply gold. The cheese releases enough fat that oil in the pan is unnecessary.
Fork the avocado roughly onto the plate with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
Lay the halloumi over, trickle the oil on, and finish with red pepper flakes and pepper. Eat it straight away — halloumi turns squeaky and tough as it cools.
