Prepare Filling
Chop up some red onion into long strips—or so that it falls into its circular layers. Slice a tomato lengthways with cucumber and lettuce. Mix in extra virgin olive oil.
This is the vegetarian option we tried, No Piggity, which is packed full of halloumi, jalapeño salsa and avocado mayo 
Definitely one to add to your lockdown delivery list 
London Food BloggerCook Halloumi
Buy a slab of supermarket halloumi and fire up the barbeque or heat a pan with olive oil. Cut the halloumi into thick slices. If the slices are too thin, they will burn and lose that beautiful flavor. You want the outside to be crispy and flavorful, while the inside is moist and rubbery.
Toast Bun
Once the halloumi has been nicely cooked, it’s time to toast your bun. Take a brioche bun and cut it in half. Then, place both halves onto the barbeque or under the grill. You want both sides to be nicely toasted. Ideally, the top of the brioche bun will have a little chargrilled mark.
⠀ ⠀ Halloumi itself is amazing. But in a brioche burger bun with sweet chilli sauce and salad, it’s even better! ⠀ ⠀ VEGETARIAN 
⠀ ⠀ TIME IT TAKES 
: 15 MINS⠀ ⠀ INGREDIENTS: ⠀ This can be improvised depending on preference. I put in: ⠀ * 1/4-1/3 pack of Halloumi. Sliced from the side of the block and across to get one big square/rectangle. * 2 slices Tomato ⠀ * Few slices of Red Onion ⠀ * 2 leaves of Gem Lettuce⠀ * Spoonful of homemade coleslaw which was made for a BBQ. (This is raw grated carrot, shredded raw cabbage and mayo) ⠀ * Sweet Chilli Sauce ⠀ * Allioli⠀ ⠀ METHOD: ⠀ * Prepare the salad first. I sliced the tomato and red onion and shredded the lettuce after washing. Slice the halloumi from the side and across to get one large square/ rectangle piece. You can get 3 or 4 of these slices out of a standard block. ⠀ * Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan. When sizzling add the large piece of halloumi. Flip it regularly to see how it’s cooking on both sides. It’s cooked when it’s golden brown on both sides.⠀ * Cut the brioche burger buns in half and lightly toast underneath the grill as the halloumi is cooking. * Serve the burger with a spread of allioli on the bottom bun and sweet chilli sauce on the top bun. Add the salad, coleslaw etc, place the cooked halloumi on top and then add the top bun. ⠀ ⠀ Enjoy!Assemble
Put some salsa on the bottom of the bun before putting in the halloumi, the red onion, the lettuce, the cucumber. Top with some sweet chili sauce and a little dollop of hummus.

]]>Brie
With its rich, velvety texture and delicate, buttery taste, a wheel of French brie is essential to a proper cheese plate. Enjoy at room temperature, or for an easy appetizer, bake it for a few minutes in a hot oven and serve with fresh fruits and crispy crackers.
Halloumi
Originating in Greece, what makes this salty treat so special and versatile is its ability to maintain shape when heated. This makes it an excellent choice for grilling. Some even say it has a similar texture to grilled chicken!
10 minute Halloumi, honey, herby salad 
swap the melon for any ripe fruit or extra tomatoes . 150g halloumi 2 tsp butter or ghee 1 handful of mint & basil Big handful of baby spinach / rocket / leaves 200g ripe melon (I used honeydew) 1 large handful of cherry tomatoes 1 handful of black olives . 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil Juice and zest ½ a lemon 1 tsp raw honey Sea salt & pepper . 1. Whisk the dressing ingredients together or shake in a jam jar. 2. Chop up the melon, halve the cherry tomatoes and pit the olives and tear them in half 3. Rub some butter or coconut oil onto a griddle pan (BEFORE you heat it up!) or use a frying pan, then heat up the pan to a high heat and meanwhile slice up the halloumi then grill or fry for about 45 seconds on each side of the halloumi using tongs to turn the slices over until golden brown. 4.While the halloumi cooks, arrange all the salad onto a platter, using your hands to toss the dressing through the salad then top with the hot halloumi and a little sea salt and enjoy. . I rate these lovely suppliers – raw British honey @blackbeehoneycompany black olives @odysea_ltd olive oil @belazu_co halloumi from Yorkshire @yorkshiredamacheese

This Spanish cheese has a zesty flavor that pairs beautifully with the sweetness of many fruits such as apricots or grapes. In addition, it melts easily, making it a delicious component in various egg dishes.
Burrata
What could be better than cheese stuffed with even more cheese? This creamy Italian delicacy is formed by filling a pouch of fresh mozzarella with a soft, milky curd. Burrata can be served as a heavenly side dish of its own with crusty bread or atop a fresh salad.
