Crispy Halloumi Fritters with Charred Lime Crema & Roasted Serrano Salsa

Name: Crispy Halloumi Fritters with Charred Lime Crema & Roasted Serrano Salsa
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 35 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 10 ounces halloumi cheese, cut into 8 rectangular blocks; ½ cup panko breadcrumbs; ¼ cup all-purpose flour; 1 large egg; ½ cup Mexican crema or sour cream; Zest and juice of 2 limes; 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped; 3 serrano chiles, halved lengthwise; 2 cloves garlic, smashed; ¼ cup neutral oil for frying; ¼ teaspoon cumin seed; Salt and pepper to taste; Fleur de sel for finishing

Halloumi's impossibly high melting point makes it ideal for frying—you get a crispy exterior and a molten, stretchy interior. Panko provides the crunch, while a tangy lime crema and roasted serrano salsa frame the richness with brightness and heat. This is elegant enough for guests, technique-focused enough to impress.
