Vegetarian Summer Sandwich with Halloumi, Cucumber, and Tzatziki
This vegetarian summer sandwich is a delicious and filling meal when it's too hot to cook anything elaborate. It gets a fresh crunch from cucumber slices and tzatziki, along with that unbeatable salty taste of fried (or grilled) halloumi.
Ingredients
- 2 slices white bread thick and fresh is best!
- cucumber, thinly sliced
- tzatziki sauce at least 2 tbsp per sandwich, more depending on the size of your bread
- halloumi cheese cut into thick slices, about 3/8-inch each
- freshly ground black pepper
- olive oil just a tiny bit
Instructions
- Heat a nonstick frying pan on high heat. Cut your halloumi cheese into 3/8-inch slices and gently blot dry with a paper towel. Brush each piece very lightly with olive oil.Place each slice of halloumi in the pan once it's hot. Fry for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked to your liking. Add several grinds of black pepper.
- Take two slices of thick, fresh white bread. (Toast them if you want some extra crunch!) Spread one slice with a generous helping of tzatziki sauce. Top with several thin slices of cucumber.
- Add more black pepper. Top with the fried halloumi cheese. Close the sandwich, cut it in half, and enjoy!
