👨‍🍳 Instructions

Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet big enough to fit all halloumi slices.

Once oil is hot but not smoking, add halloumi.

Cook until well browned on the bottom, about 4 minutes.

Flip and cook the other side until browned, about 3 minutes.

Pour lemon juice over browned halloumi and let reduce slightly.

Remove from heat and sprinkle with oregano.
