Squeaky Cheese

I love Halloumi cheese, sometimes I can eat it every day to the point I get worried and google ‘how often can you eat Halloumi cheese’ and lo and behold it’s already there in the searches #iamcrying.

The top tip I heard for cooking Halloumi is to first soak slices of it, in just boiled water, drain off water before cooking it under a hot grill or griddle pan. It gives the cheese more of a bite/squidge (that’s a real word).

Depending how wet it is during my lunch break I go to the following places for my daily fix of a toasted wrap sandwich.

In order of preference:

Turkish Street food stall in Mercer Street

Leon – cos lettuce gives it a nice fresh taste, easy to unwrap and eat but the paper bag gets soggy when caught in the rain #lunchfail

Pure – added sun dried tomatoes add a nice tang to the wrap.

Pret a Manger in last place, not enough Halloumi and sloppy falafel, plus hard to get out of the corrugated cardboard wrapper

If I go over my £5 lunch budget and make the effort to walk a bit further into Soho, I would head to The Breakfast Club on D’Arblay Street to treat myself to their version called When Haloumi Met Salad wrap.
