Instructions

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tbsp. olive oil.
Dip halloumi cubes into beaten egg, then coat with a mixture of crushed cornflakes, parmesan, sesame seeds, and paprika.
Cook halloumi in the skillet for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy, flipping carefully.
In a small saucepan, gently heat honey and chili flakes over low heat. Add 1 tbsp. olive oil to create a glaze.
Brush the hot honey glaze over the cooked halloumi while still warm.
Serve immediately, optionally with chilled BUBBL’R Cherry Gauva Blend’r as a refreshing garnish.
