Grilling halloumi over the barbecue is something special, smoky on the outside, warm and perfectly melty within. The key is starting with a quality halloumi that holds its shape and delivers that signature salty bite. Piled onto crisp, flame-kissed crostini and finished with a drizzle of chilli-infused hot honey, every mouthful hits the mark, sweet, salty, crunchy, and gently spiced.
