A delightful Mediterranean-inspired dish featuring crispy broiled halloumi cheese layered over a savory mixture of tomatoes and white beans, infused with garlic, herbs, and a touch of honey. Perfect for a light lunch or a flavorful appetizer, served best with crusty bread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound cherry or grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley, plus more for serving
  • 1 teaspoon honey, plus more for serving
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or thyme
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, butter beans, or navy beans, drained
  • 1 (8-ounce) block halloumi, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
  • 1/2 lemon
  • Olive oil, as needed for drizzling
  • Crusty bread (optional), for serving

Instructions

  1. Set your oven broiler to high heat and position the rack in the upper third of the oven, approximately 3 to 4 inches from the heat source.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, ovenproof pan over medium heat. Add the halved tomatoes, minced garlic, finely chopped parsley, honey, and dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Cook while stirring frequently until the tomatoes soften and release their juices, about 10 minutes.
  3. Stir in the drained cannellini beans and continue cooking until heated through, roughly 3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper as needed. Turn off the heat.
  4. Place the halloumi slices evenly on top of the tomato and bean mixture in the pan. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and broil until the halloumi is golden and crispy on top, about 5 minutes.
  5. Remove the pan from the oven, drizzle generously with olive oil, squeeze the lemon half over the dish, and add a light drizzle of honey. Garnish with extra parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Accompany with crusty bread if desired.
