Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices sourdough or whole grain bread
  • 0.5 ripe avocado, mashed
  • 4 slices halloumi cheese, grilled
  • 0.25 red onion, thinly sliced and lightly sautéed
  • 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • fresh parsley, chopped
  • olive oil, salt, black pepper, lemon juice (for seasoning)

Equipment

  • toaster or skillet
  • small skillet or grill pan
  • small bowl
  • knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Lightly toast the bread slices in a toaster or skillet until golden-brown and crisp.
  2. Mash the avocado in a small bowl. Season with salt and lemon juice.
  3. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high. Grill halloumi slices 1–2 minutes per side until golden with grill marks.
  4. Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread.
  5. Layer the grilled halloumi slices over the avocado.
  6. Add sautéed red onions and halved cherry tomatoes on top.
  7. Finish with chopped parsley, black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
  8. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Best enjoyed fresh while the halloumi is warm and crispy. Garnish with chili flakes, balsamic glaze, or fresh herbs like basil or mint. For added protein, top with a poached egg. Not ideal for reheating — assemble just before serving.
