These Halloumi Nuggets are a fun rift on chicken nuggets and mozzarella sticks. They're delicious and freeze really well for when you're craving a simple snack at a later date!

We really love fried foods and cheese We wanted to do a riff off of Fried Mozzarella Sticks, so we made Halloumi Nuggets! These little bit sized fried cheese cubes are perfect for an appetizer, and really yummy. We love Halloumi because of its salty taste and firm texture. Plus halloumi stands up well with heat which makes these little nuggets hold up really well when fried and while eating them.

What is Halloumi?

Halloumi is a semi hard cheese that has a squeeky texture. Meaning when you bite into it, it kind of squeeks against your teeth. It can be made from sheeps milk, goats milk, or cows milk. It has a nice tangy and salty flavor. It is similar to mozzarella, but with less moisture content. It fries up perfectly because of this. Halloumi can be eaten raw, but it becomes even more delicious when it’s fried, pan fried, or grilled.

These Halloumi Nuggets are really addicting and we dare you to try and stop yourself for eating the entire batch!
