Notes

Most halloumi blocks will split in the middle if you cut along the long edge. Instead, cut the short edge of the block so you get large pieces to get softer centres.
If you have leftovers, they should be kept in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. You can reheat it but note that the halloumi can turn on the spongier, squeakier side!
