Yaya’s Halloumi Cheese Caprese Salad

• 1 package of Yaya Cheese

• 5-7 Fresh Basil leaves

• 2 TBSP Extra Virgin Olive oil

• 1-½ TBSP12 yr gold label Balsamic or reduced balsamic vinegar

• 1 TBSP Honey

• Flaky sea salt

• Fresh cracked pepper

Directions:

1. Rinse and wash cheese with cold water. Take cheese and dry with paper towel and cut crosswise ½ in thick slabs.

2. Set aside cut cheese and cut heirloom crosswise getting nice round slices; you are looking for about ⅓ in to ½ in thick slices should get about 3-5 slices dependent on how big the tomato is.

3. In a medium fry pan add a 1 TBSP of cooking oil into the pan and set heat to medium heat. Let it heat for about 1-2 mins and then add in cheese.  Pan frying both sides till golden brown. Once fried on both sides set cheese on plate with paper towel. 

4. To arrange on a plate you want to start with tomato first, then cheese, lastly basil leaf. Repeat for desired amount on plate I suggest 2-3 time. Then drizzle olive oil, balsamic, and honey going in a zig zag or circle to cover salad. Then Sprinkle flaky sea salt and fresh cracked pepper and enjoy.
