This grilled halloumi with garlic recipe is one of my go to dishes when I want something impressive but fuss free. The beauty of halloumi is that it has a high melting point, so it holds its shape beautifully on the grill without turning into a puddle. Roasted garlic becomes sweet and creamy when cooked, making it perfect for spreading alongside the warm cheese. Plus, garlic is packed with allicin, a compound known for its immune boosting properties. With just 15 minutes of prep and 30 minutes total cooking time, you'll have an elegant appetizer or light meal on the table. It's simple, affordable, and absolutely delicious.
