The possibilities are endless, allowing you to tailor this dish to your personal palate while still maintaining its cheesy, keto-friendly essence.

  • Step 1

    Slice the halloumi cheese lengthwise. You should get 8 slices out of the block giving you 2 slices per person. Slice the cleaned tomatoes in half where the stem was. Pile the basil leaves and then cut into strips (this is called a chiffonade).
