Halloumi Grilled Cheese
This Mediterranean-inspired spin on grilled cheese is all about the halloumi: a semi-firm cheese from Cyprus that’s usually made with sheep and goat’s milk. This brined delight has a high melting point, so it stays intact to give your grilled cheese some gravitas. The hearty, salty flavors of the cheese are the ideal partner for tender baby spinach, which you cook down before mixing with plenty of fresh dill and lemon.
The Arnold®, Brownberry®, or Oroweat® Potato Sandwich Bun adds the perfect amount of sweetness, and—when it’s cooked in a dry pan—provides the griddled crunchiness any quality grilled cheese demands. Plus, its size and shape means there's more surface area for melted cheese. (And more cheese is always a good thing.)
I like serving it with a Greek salad loaded with plenty of cucumber, tomato, and feta for an easy, vibrant lunch. —Sarah Wharton
