These grilled halloumi and peach skewers are a quick and easy dish combining salty cheese, sweet peaches, and a sticky chili honey glaze for a perfect balance of flavors. Ideal for entertaining or a simple weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces halloumi cheese, sliced into 1-inch cubes or thick rectangles
  • 2 large ripe peaches, cut into wedges about the same size as the halloumi pieces
  • 3 tablespoons honey (preferably raw or wildflower)
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Fresh thyme or mint sprigs (optional, for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper, to season

Instructions

  1. Slice the halloumi into 1-inch cubes or rectangles and cut the peaches into wedges roughly the same size. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, chili flakes, lemon juice, and olive oil to make the chili honey glaze. Adjust chili flakes to your preferred heat level.
  3. Toss the halloumi and peach pieces in half of the chili honey glaze, coating well but without soaking.
  4. Thread the halloumi and peach pieces alternately onto skewers, about 4-5 pieces per skewer.
  5. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C). Brush the grill grates or pan with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  6. Grill the skewers for 4-5 minutes per side until halloumi has golden grill marks and peaches are caramelized. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  7. During the last 2 minutes of grilling, brush the skewers with the remaining chili honey glaze for a sticky finish.
  8. Remove from grill and sprinkle with fresh thyme or mint if using. Serve warm immediately.

Notes

Use firm block-style halloumi for best grilling results. Brush grill grates with oil instead of the cheese to prevent sticking. Add chili honey glaze towards the end of grilling to avoid burning. Fresh ripe peaches caramelize best. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling.
