Ingredients

  • about 225 g Halloumi cheese
  • 1 pint Cherry tomatoes
  • 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Balsamic glaze
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, which is about 204.4-232.2°C (200-230°C).
  2. 2Cut the about 225 g of Halloumi cheese into 2.54 cm cubes. Thread the halloumi cubes and the pint of cherry tomatoes onto skewers, alternating between them.
  3. 3Place the prepared skewers on the preheated grill. Brush the skewers evenly with the 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle the 0.25 teaspoon of salt and the 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper over the skewers.
  4. 4Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes on each side. You are looking for the halloumi to turn a golden brown color and the cherry tomatoes to become slightly softened and burst.
  5. 5Carefully remove the skewers from the grill. Drizzle the skewers with the 1 tablespoon of balsamic glaze.
  6. 6Garnish the skewers with the 0.25 cup of fresh basil leaves just before serving.
