1 tsp italian seasoning

Anweisungen

Peel the cucumber into ribbons using a vegetable peeler, I like to avoid the centre of the cucumber as it can be wet and mushy. Sprinkle a little salt over the cucumber ribbons and let them sit for 10–15 minutes. The salt will draw out excess water. Afterward, pat them dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Mix the cucumber with the dressing (yogurt, olive oil, mint) right before assembling the burgers to keep everything fresh and crisp. At this point I also like to slice the tomato and red onion.

Set up three plates. On one plate, mix flour with half the paprika, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt. On the second, beat an egg. On the third, combine panko breadcrumbs, parmesan, and the remaining spices.

Cut the halloumi into thick, even slices to ensure they fry evenly. Pat the halloumi dry with a paper towel

Dip each slice into the flour, coating all sides. Next, dunk it in the egg, allowing any excess to drip off, and press it into the panko mixture until fully coated. Set the coated slices aside.

Heat a generous layer of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the halloumi slices for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy. If the oil gets too hot, lower the heat to prevent burning. Transfer the fried halloumi to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Toss the cucumber ribbons with chopped mint, a drizzle of olive oil, and a dollop of Greek yogurt. Mix until well combined.

slice the brioche buns in half and lightly toast them if desired. Start with a layer of the cucumber salad on the bottom bun, followed by the crispy halloumi slices. Add a dollop of tzatziki, then layer on thin slices of tomato and red onion. Top with the bun lid.
