Description
A high-protein vegetarian appetizer featuring halloumi cheese coated in a spicy, sweet honey glaze and a crunchy keto-friendly breading. Ideal for ketogenic or macro-focused diets.
Ingredients
2 (8-oz) blocks halloumi or feta block, cubed into 1-inch pieces
2 large eggs, beaten
2½ cups crushed keto-friendly cornflakes
½ cup grated parmesan
2 tbsp. sesame seeds
1½ tsp. sweet paprika
3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup honey (use keto-certified honey substitute)
1½ tsp. chili pepper flakes
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.

Ensure cornflakes substitute is pork-rind-free.
Adjust chili flakes amount for spice preference.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
