Easy Halloumi Flatbreads
Loaded flatbreads are such a great option for a quick and easy lunch or light dinner. Halloumi and Hummus is my favourite topping at the moment, but there are endless possibilities.
You can use store bought flatbreads for ease. My favourite are these Greek Style Flatbreads. You can pop them in the freezer and they defrost quickly in the toaster making them perfect for a quick lunch.
If you fancy making your own flatbreads then these easy yoghurt flatbreads are excellent.
Ingredients
- Greek Style Flatbread – use store bought for ease or try making your own. Pitta breads work well or add the toppings to a wrap instead.
- Halloumi Cheese – cut in thick slices and pan fried.
- Hummus – Make your own (try my easy butter bean hummus) or use your favourite brand.
- Pickled Red Cabbage – sweet and tangy, pickled cabbage is one of my pantry staples. I love it in cheese toasties and salad as well. Sarson’s is my favourite store bought cabbage or try making your own.
- Carrot – I use this julienne peeler for thin and crunchy strips of raw carrot. You could also use grated carrot or simply cut into thin matchsticks.
- Pomegranate Seeds – optional, but they add a lovely sharp sweetness which goes really well with the salty halloumi and creamy hummus.
Serving
Halloumi and Hummus Flatbreads are best served freshly prepared but you can also roll and wrap them up to transport or serve later. I like to eat them for lunch as is. You could add a simple green salad or bean salad on the side to make it more of a meal.
Halloumi Flatbreads are really easy to customise to suit your own tastes or to use what ingredients you have handy. Feel free to swap up the toppings with things like sliced onion, bell pepper, cucumber or lettuce. Instead of hummus try tzatziki or greek yoghurt mixed with a sprinkle of zaatar or a drizzle of your favourite hot sauce.
