Author Notes
Conveniently, our outdoor grill is situated next to an extremely prolific rosemary bush in our backyard which means we often wind up creating skewers or grilling beds with the many branches. Even more conveniently, in the summer our tomatoes are close at hand and they taste amazing when grilled with rosemary. I love how grilling gives tomatoes more depth and just a little crispness. And have you had honey on your tomatoes? You should!
Halloumi cheese can be found in Middle Eastern groceries and is great for this recipe because of its high melting point so you can put it right over the flame. If you can't find it, Mexican-style Queso Blanco will work, too, or you can skip it altogether. —vrunka
