Ingredients
  

  • 1 block Halloumi cheese 250g, cut into 1/2-inch sticks
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 large Egg beaten
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup Plain Greek yogurt for the dipping sauce
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp Fresh mint leaves finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Pat the halloumi block dry with paper towels and cut it into 1/2-inch thick fries.
  • Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one for flour, one for the beaten egg, and one for the panko breadcrumbs.
  • Coat each halloumi stick evenly in flour, dip it into the beaten egg, and firmly press it into the panko breadcrumbs until completely covered.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded halloumi sticks for 2 to 3 minutes per side until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Transfer the fried cheese sticks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped mint to create the white dipping sauce.
  • Serve the warm crispy halloumi fries immediately alongside the fresh mint dipping sauce.
