My husband introduced me to the Halloumi burgers, I’d never had one before but he had on many a night shift in Sydney. Now, where we are currently living takeaway is not an option, so I made our own halloumi burgers to satisfy his craving. They are great! I never thought I’d like it as much as I did and the combinations you can use with the halloumi are endless.

If you like burgers, you should try a chicken schnitzel burger, homestyle burgers, or salmon patty burgers.

Prep: 5 minutes

Cook: 10 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 4 bread rolls (regular bread rolls or brioche rolls if you’re feeling fancy)
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 200 g halloumi, sliced
• 4 eggs
• baby spinach
• tomato chutney (optional)
• 1 tsp oil, for frying
• 1 tsp vinegar, for poaching the eggs

Method

1. Heat the oil in a pan to medium heat. Add the sliced tomato and cook for 5 minutes.
2. Add the halloumi to the pan and cook for 2 minutes each side.
3. To poach the eggs, heat a saucepan of water and the vinegar to medium heat. Use a slotted spoon to stir the water in a clockwise direction. Crack each egg into the moving water and cook for 3 minutes. Drain each egg well before using.
4. Toast your burger buns lightly and then assemble your burger by placing a layer of chutney on the bottom half of the roll, top it with the spinach, tomato, halloumi, avocado and egg.
5. Serve immediately.
