Ingredients
- 1 cup halloumi shredded
- 2 eggs large
- 1 tbsp milk optional
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Filling options (choose your favorite)
- 2-3 tbsp diced tomatoes
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 2-3 slices cooked ham
Instructions
Let the Halloumi Turn Golden and Crispy
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly brush the pan with olive oil.
- Spread the shredded halloumi into an even layer and cook for 2–3 minutes, until the bottom turns deep golden and crispy.
- Tip: Avoid moving the halloumi around too much while it cooks. Letting it sit undisturbed is what creates that crispy cheesy crust.
Pour the Eggs Over the Halloumi
- In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Pour the eggs evenly over the crispy halloumi layer and gently tilt the pan so the egg spreads into all the gaps.
- Cook for 4–5 minutes, or until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly soft on top.
Carefully Flip It Over
- Using a wide spatula, carefully flip the entire halloumi and egg layer onto the other side.
- If it feels difficult to flip in one piece, you can carefully slide it onto a plate first, then turn it back into the pan. Cook for another 1–2 minutes, just until lightly golden and fully cooked through.
Add the Fillings
- Add your chosen fillings to one side of the wrap.Cream cheese, tomatoes, and ham work especially well here, but spinach, avocado, smoked salmon, pesto, or roasted peppers are also delicious.
Fold and Serve
- Fold the wrap in half like a taco and gently press it with the spatula to help it hold together.Serve immediately while the halloumi is still warm and crispy around the edges. Add hot sauce, pesto, or a yogurt sauce on top if you want extra flavor.
Notes
- Halloumi is naturally salty, so taste before adding extra salt.
- This recipe is best served fresh while the cheese is still crispy.
