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 Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices white bread thick and fresh is best!
  • cucumber, thinly sliced
  • tzatziki sauce at least 2 tablespoon per sandwich, more depending on the size of your bread
  • halloumi cheese cut into thick slices, about ⅜-inch each
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • olive oil just a tiny bit

Method
 

  1. Heat a nonstick frying pan on high heat. Cut your halloumi cheese into ⅜-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.
  2. 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.
  3. Add more black pepper. Top with the fried halloumi cheese. Close the sandwich, cut it in half, and enjoy!
