Combining the texture of mozzarella with the briny moisture of feta, Halloumi is easily one of the world's most versatile cheeses. Instead of melting when cooked Halloumi browns beautifully, especially when grilled. Read more . I have recently discovered this cheese and it is lovely... but the reall star of this elegant starter is teh black olive tapenade Ingredients:
sliced crusty bread-french or italian - cut on the diagonal |
2 medium thick slices halloumi cheese |
1 medium thick slice ripe firm tomato |
olive tapenade |
*as with all simple dishes, the quality of the ingredients is key to the success of the recipe. do get some good bread and ripe tomatoes and you will be halfway there before you even begin! a good storebought tapenade should not be too hard to find either. then all you have to do is assemble and enjoy |
Directions:
1. Smear the tapenade lightly on the bread (a little goes a long way-very salty!)
2. Place tomato on bread and top with cheese.
3. Toast until cheese is melting and starts to brown.
4. **if you have a toaster oven this would make an easy, satisfying snack.
5. **this would also be very good to serve at an elegant supper as a starter or just with cocktails.
