Farmers Market Feast: Grilled Halloumi Cheese with Pluots and Honey

Jump To Recipe

This week at the Little Italy Wednesday Market, I picked up red-speckled, pale green Dapple Dandy pluots. Salty halloumi cheese is one of the few cheeses that can stand up to the heat of a grill, and its salty, charred flavor was the perfect counterpoint to these sweet, pink-fleshed fruits.

Ingredients

8 ounces halloumi cheese, cut into ¼-inch slices
3 plums/pluots, pitted, cut into ¼-inch slices
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Prepare a grill or grill pan over medium heat with a little olive oil or cooking spray.
Grill halloumi until softened and charred, about 2 to 3 minutes each side.
On a serving platter, arrange grilled halloumi and plums or pluots. Top with green onions and a generous grind of black pepper.
Whisk together lemon juice, honey and olive oil and drizzle the mixture over the fruit and cheese before serving.
