Equipment

  • large pan

Ingredients
  

  • 250 g halloumi sliced into 4
  • 4 brioche buns
  • 50 g panko breadcrumbs
  • 50 g plain flour
  • 1 egg
  • 2-3 tablespoon buffalo sauce
  • 2-3 tablespoon ranch
  • 1 head lettuce
  • Handful gherkins
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Set up three shallow plates or bowls. Add seasoned flour to the first plate, beaten egg to the second, and panko breadcrumbs to the third. Cut the halloumi into thick, even slices so they cook evenly. Pat each slice dry with kitchen paper. Removing excess moisture helps the coating stick better and allows the halloumi to crisp up properly.

  • Dip each slice of halloumi into the flour first, making sure every side is coated. Next, dip it into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip away. Finally, press the halloumi firmly into the panko breadcrumbs until fully coated. Set aside while you heat the oil.
  • Heat a generous layer of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Carefully add the coated halloumi slices and fry until golden and crispy on both sides. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper to remove excess oil.

  • Toast the brioche buns until lightly golden. Spread ranch dressing onto the buns, then layer with lettuce and sliced gherkins. Add the crispy halloumi and finish with a drizzle of buffalo sauce.

  • Finish with the top bun and serve with optional salad, fries or whatever you like with burgers

Notes

If the oil is too hot, the breadcrumbs may burn before the halloumi warms through. Medium-high heat works best for achieving a golden, crunchy coating without overcooking the cheese.
