Quick & Easy Recipes using Halloumi
When I think of food that’s quick, satisfying, and a little bit indulgent (without being unhealthy), halloumi is right up there. It’s got that salty, squeaky bite, it crisps up beautifully in the air fryer, and it turns even the simplest dish into something you actually want to eat. If you’re after a quick and easy meal, and you’ve got a block of halloumi in the fridge – you’re halfway there.
Halloumi is incredibly versatile. Whether you’re air frying, grilling, or even throwing it into a curry, it delivers big flavour in minutes. And although it’s not usually the first thing you’d think of for a slow cooker, I’ve even included a recipe that proves it can hold its own there too.
So, here are 6 quick and easy recipes using halloumi that are perfect for busy weeknights, meat-free Mondays, or whenever you want something that feels a bit special but takes hardly any time.

Why Halloumi Should Be a Staple in Your Fridge
Halloumi is one of the most versatile ingredients you can keep in your fridge – and it’s not just for vegetarians. It crisps up beautifully in the air fryer, holds its shape in a curry, and brings a salty, savoury bite to everything from salads to wraps.
It’s high in protein, cooks in minutes, and unlike most cheeses, it doesn’t melt – so it keeps that satisfying, chewy texture. Whether you grill it, pan-fry it, or chuck it in the air fryer, it always delivers on flavour. It’s also a brilliant way to cut back on meat without sacrificing taste or substance – ideal for flexitarians or anyone trying to eat a bit lighter.
