Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ ripe medium avocado
  • ½ tablespoon lemon juice
  • ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 4 ounces halloumi sliced thinly
  • 2 bagels sliced in half

Instructions

  • Remove avocado pit. Scoop avocado flesh from the skin and into a small bowl.
  • Add lemon juice, red pepper flakes and salt to the avocado. Smash with a fork until smooth and all ingredients combined and set aside.
  • Slice halloumi thinly.
  • Heat a skillet on the stove at medium heat and spray with oil or pour 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
  • Add sliced halloumi to heated skillet, leaving space in between each slice of halloumi. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until halloumi is browned on the first side. Flip and sear for another 1-2 minutes until the second side is browned.
  • Slice bagels in half and toast.
  • Schmear each bagel bottom with half of the smashed avocado mixture and top with half of the pan fried halloumi.
  • Top with the top bagel half and enjoy, or wrap up as a meal prep!

Notes

  • Pan frying the halloumi: While you can eat halloumi raw, it is best prepared fried or grilled. This reduces the salty, rubbery texture. Make sure to leave space between the halloumi slices when searing, or the halloumi will cook and not brown.
  • Make it low carb: To make this halloumi bagel a lower carb meal, swap out the bagel for a bagel thin, or substitute for english muffins.
  • Storage directions: If prepping ahead of time, wrap up in parchment paper or plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
