This grilled veggie and halloumi burger takes “cheese burger” to a whole other level! It’s a delicious vegetarian option for your next BBQ – but maybe make extra because even meat-eaters will be ditching their beef burgers for them..
Never heard of halloumi? It’s a unripened, semi-hard cheese that originated in the Mediterranean. Halloumi is sometimes compared to mozzarella in appearance, but it’s denser, saltier and has a high melting point – which makes it perfect for the grill!
