Calories: 664kcal
Ingredients
- 2 large slices thick cut whole wheat levain (or your favorite bread)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 9 ounces halloumi cheese, sliced
- 1 large avocado
- Squeeze of fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
- Pinch red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Toast your bread using whichever method you prefer.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat on the stove. Add the butter and let it melt. Swirl the pan to coat, then add the sliced halloumi. You can do this in a couple of batches if all of the cheese doesn’t fit at once. Grill the halloumi a couple of minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove to a plate while you prepare the rest of the toast.
- Spread half of the avocado over each slice of toast, smashing down with a fork if necessary. Squeeze the lemon juice evenly over the avocado, being sure not to lose any seeds.
- Place the grilled halloumi slices over each piece of toast. You may have one or two slices extra, eat these or save them for later use.
- Finish off the toast by drizzling the honey evenly over both pieces of toast and sprinkling on red pepper flakes, based on your spice tolerance. Enjoy immediately.
