For mothers who are breast-feeding, these lactation cookies are excellent. They are delicious, moist, and aid in increasing or maintaining milk supply. And sure, husbands can consume them as well! When I make these, I have to keep my husband from seeing them. These cookies aid breastfeeding mothers’ milk supply since they contain brewer’s yeast, wheat germ, flax seeds, and whole oats. Do not omit those components!

6.20.21 Had friends over last night, I served appetizers for dinner, and this one got rave reviews! Must be eaten fairly soon after it comes out of the skillet, otherwise, it starts to firm up. But one bite, and it’ll all be gone very quickly. Good stuff, really enjoyed.
delicious!
Amazing and addicting! If you love flaming saganaki, you’ll love this simpler, flame-less version. Tangy, salty and ooey-gooey. I love to eat it with crusty bread. Will definitely make this again!
What the instructions failed to tell you; You need a hot pan to get the golden brown. Medium heat may not get you there. We had to turn the pan up! Olive oil: Less is more. You really only need a couple drops or you’ll boil the cheese and it won’t crisp. The seasoning is fantastic. Oregano or Italian seasoning and lemon juice sprinkled to taste. You’re welcome. We used a non stick pan.
delicious
Made no changes. It was tasty. I had to be patient to get all the pieces nice and brown, but it was worth it. The lemon juice really adds that extra something.
I prepared this tonight per the instruction. We thought this was really good and made it a keeper. I did turn up the heat to med-high and flipped them a few times over about 4 minutes and got that great crust.
made this for years !!!!! killer dish !! do it!!
Good recipe, don’t skimp on the lemon.
This is such a simple recipe, but the results are absolutely fantastic! Believe it or not, I sometimes omit the herbs (keeping the lemon) and serve the cheese topped with sour cherry spread. It is addictive that way, and it is perfect for tea, lunch, or even breakfast. Try it!
Salty and wonderful. I hope I can find halloumi again.
It turned into a gelatinous mess once in the pan.
I love that this recipe lets the Halloumi shine. It’s such a savory, interesting cheese. My first batch released a lot of fluid (water, it seemed) but didn’t affect the flavor or browning at all. Keeping the sticks thick allow the unique texture to come through. Along with other reviewers, I preferred using a non-stick skillet, but well-seasoned cast iron works fine. Made a roasted tomato soup with oregano and crusty baguette to finish the meal.
So easy and so delicious. Will make this again and again. How dic I not know about this? Must love salt though.
Loved this! Halloumi’s expensive, but this was a great treat. Salty, crispy, lemony. Delicious!
salty. otherwise good.
This is really great and the lemon adds a great acidic touch. Paired with a side salad with cucumbers and you have a healthy meal. You can also grill this cheese over indirect heat.
Delicious! We sprinkled with lime juice and was fantastic!
My husband brought home a box of this cheese from Cyprus & I kept it in the fridge for months as I didn’t know what to do with it! MY GOD IT WAS FABULOUS! Now I can’t wait for him to go back, so he can bring more home! It’s hard to find locally, but worth searching for. Thanks Linda!
Quick and satisfying. Halloumi cheese has a high melting point, so it’s easy to cook and it tastes great with a dash of fresh lemon. I saw Nigella Lawson make a salad with spring mix, grilled halloumi and a soft-boiled egg on TV once. It’s really good. I’ll upload a picture the next time I’m in the USA. It’s worth making.
Fantastic!!! I tried this using both a stainless steel and dark, non-stick pan. The non-stick worked much better, creating a very delicate and even crisp golden crust. In stainless steel this took a long time to color and then once it started, the cheese began to burn almost immediately. My gal pals have added this to the “must haves” for every get together.
