Grilled Halloumi

 Halloumi reminds me so much of summer and BBQs!  Usually we girll slices for about 10-15 minutes on low heat, depending on how crispy you want the cheese.  But since, I do not have a grill, I just pan fried the triangles for about 5-10 on low medium heat and topped it with lemon, dill, and a little salt.  Enjoy it plain or on a slice of toast!
