Ingredients
  

  • 600 g halloumi cheese
  • 5 tbsp honey
  • 1 medium lemon
  • 4 sprigs thyme
  • 2-3 tbsp olive oil

Method
 

  1. Slice halloumi in 1 centimeter thick pieces.
  2. In a small bowl, add the honey, juice of the lemon, and thyme leaves. Mix well.
  3. Add one layer of halloumi slices to an airtight container. Spoon over a layer of the honey lemon dressing. Add another layer of halloumi on top and repeat until all cheese has been added. Pour over any remaining dressing.
  4. Place container in the fridge to marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight if possible.
  5. Turn the container upside down occasionally to coat all sides of the cheese.
