Bitesized Halloumopita

Jun 30

You all loved my bite-sized Ravasaki (not Saganaki—that’s different!), so here’s my mini Halloumopita version! Made with flaky filo pastry and delicious halloumi, they’re perfect for sharing and absolutely irresistible 🧀✨

Ingredients

8 sheets of filo pastry, cut in half
Approx 3-4 tbsp olive oil (plus 100ml olive oil for shallow frying)
1 block of halloumi, cut into 16 small chunks
50g honey
2-3 tsp sesame seeds

20-25 mins to prepare and make | Makes 16

Method

Lay out the filo pastry sheets. Taking one, brush olive oil on top.
Place the small chunk of halloumi cheese in the middle and fold the filo pastry sheet like you’re wrapping a parcel. Repeat this process with the rest of halloumi chunks and filo pastry sheets.
Heat up the additional olive oil in a frying pan over a medium to high heat. After a minute, add the parcels and fry on both sides for 1-2 minutes until golden and crispy.
Place the crispy parcels on a plate lined with kitchen roll to absorb the excess oil. Then remove and serve with honey and sesame seeds on top.
