It can be eaten raw but, most of the recipes for this type of cheese are being cooked, and it’s just tempting not to dive in it. Halloumi can become rubbery if you don’t know how to cook it correctly; the good thing is that this recipe will guide you on how to nail a perfect halloumi waffle! You have to try this crispy salty waffle with a light, fluffy, slightly spicy avocado mash and a nice acidic pickled Swedish cucumber. This halloumi waffle is the perfect appetizer to make for your friends and family. An easy and quick lunch at home when you are working. A two-ingredient waffle and topped with an avocado mash with white peas that you can replicate at home. Adding a pickled cucumber at the end will elevate the flavors to another level.
