Bruschetta with grilled tomatoes and haloumi cheese

Prep Time Cook Time Serves
10 mins 15 mins 4
Ingredients
  • 500g cherry tomatoes
  • cup olive oil
  • 2 x 250g packets haloumi cheese
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 tbs finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 4 focaccia rolls
  • 135g jar black olive tapenade
  • Fresh basil, to garnish
  • Lemon halves and extra tapenade, to serve

1 Place tomatoes and 1 tbs of the olive oil in a bowl. Toss to thoroughly combine.

2 Cook tomatoes in a heated, non-stick frying pan, until soft and skins begin to split. Remove. Cover to keep warm.

3 Meanwhile, cut cheese into 5mm-thick slices. Place cheese, garlic, parsley and remaining oil in a small bowl. Toss to combine.

4 Add cheese slices, in batches, to same heated, non-stick frying pan. Cook, for about 30 seconds on each side, or until golden and crisp. Remove.

5 Split focaccia rolls in half. Cook on both sides under a hot grill until golden. Spread tapenade over cut-sides of rolls. Top with cheese slices and tomatoes. Garnish with basil.

6 Serve with lemon halves and extra tapenade.

Tip: For a non-veg alternative, layer thin slices of prosciutto, salami or ham under cheese when assembling the bruschetta.
