FAQs

Can I use a different type of cheese?

While Halloumi is best for frying, you could try other cheese types like queso blanco, but they may not give you the same texture.

Are Halloumi fries healthy?

Halloumi cheese is high in protein and calcium, making it a good choice in moderation. Just be cautious with the amount of tallow or oil you use.

Can I make this recipe vegan?

This recipe relies on Halloumi cheese, which is made from milk. For a vegan version, look for a plant-based cheese alternative that can be fried.
