🍔 How To Make Jamie Oliver Halloumi Burger

Heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Cut each halloumi block in half horizontally to make square burger shapes. Pat the halloumi dry with paper towels. Mix the flour, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper on a plate. Dip each halloumi piece in the flour mixture, coating both sides.
Place the coated halloumi in the hot oil and cook for about 5 minutes on each side until crisp and golden. Avoid moving them too much to keep the crispy coating.
For the sweet chili mayo, mix the mayonnaise with lime juice and sweet chili sauce.
To assemble the burgers, stack the halloumi, avocado, tomato slices, red onion slices, and cress in the sliced brioche buns. Top with the sweet chili mayo. Serve immediately.

💭 Recipe Tips:

Dry the Halloumi: Make sure the halloumi is dry before you coat it in flour. This helps it get crispy when frying.
Cook on Medium Heat: Use medium heat to cook the halloumi. This stops it from burning and cooks it evenly.
Adjust the Mayo Sauce: Change the amount of sweet chili sauce as you like. Add more if you want it spicier.
Toast the Buns: Toast the brioche buns lightly before making the burgers. This gives more flavor and better texture.
Try Different Toppings: Add your favorite toppings like lettuce, pickles, or jalapeños to make the burger taste even better.
