The Lazy Cook.

We first came across Halloumi cheese many years ago on a holiday in Cyprus - and indeed that's where it comes from.  When you buy it (over here) it comes in a pouch with a little liquid - bit like Mozzarella does- but the star quality of Halloumi is that you can fry it and it doesn't melt!  It thus makes an interesting addition to a classic English breakfast - just slice it fairly thinly and add it to the frying pan with your bacon, sausage, fried bread and whatever.  Indeed it really does need frying or grilling - eaten straight out of the packet it's rather bland and uninspiring, but fried or grilled it's really yummy.
