About this recipe
Halloumi is a semi-solid cheese from the Mediterranean area. It is popular in Greece and Turkey, but I have eaten it mostly in Israel. It is made from cow, sheep, or goat milk. Sometimes also from a mixture of these milks. It is also often called grilled cheese. As a vegetarian burger patty, I find it particularly tasty and would like to introduce this Mediterranean, slightly oriental burger to you today.

- 2 Carrots
- 1 Sweet Potato

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees circulating air. Peel the potatoes, the sweet potato, and the carrots and cut them into sticks 1-2 centimeters thick each. Put them on a baking tray after you have stirred them in olive oil with salt. On the middle shelf, they need 25-30 minutes.
Step 4
In the last 3 to 5 minutes of the baking time of the sticks, put the burger buns in the oven. They will be golden brown and taste better.
Step 2
When the sticks are in the oven, it’s the burger topping’s turn. Cut the halloumi into about 2 centimeters thick slices. Then also cut the tomato into slices and the onion into rings. Peel the lettuce leaves.
Step 5
Fry the Halloumi in a large pan at medium heat. After about two minutes you can add the onion rings and fry them.
Step 3
For the dressing and the dip, mix mustard and honey in the creme fraiche. Season with salt and pepper and stir until smooth.
Step 6
Now it’s time to put the things together: Put some of the mustard-honey dip on one half of a bun and put lettuce leaves, tomato slices, onion rings, and the halloumi on the bun. The sticks taste twice as good with the dip!

Mediterranean Feeling is ready!
Tips
Tip 1
If you get fresh beetroot, you can add it to the vegetable sticks. Tastes also super yummy in the mix!
Tip 2
Be careful with the sticks so that they do not touch each other when in the oven. Then they turn out crispier.

As a travel blogger I have of course written a few blog posts about the countries where people eat dishes with Halloumi. I mainly spent some time in Israel, but I also visited the West Bank, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates. Here you can browse a bit through the „Halloumi countries“ and travel there in your thoughts.
