ith a notably high melting point, Mediterranean halloumi cheese makes for a tasty and unique appetizer when fried or grilled. Make it a summer dish by marinating it in local honey before cooking, and serve up the sweet and salty combination as part of a unique, seasonal cheese plate.

2 blocks halloumi cheese 1/3 cup honey, plus more for drizzling Zest and juice of 1 lemon 3 to 4 sprigs fresh thyme, roughly chopped Dash of crushed red pepper (optional) Cut cheese into ½-inch to ¼-inch thick slices. Stir together honey and lemon zest and juice. Lay cheese slices in shallow dish, and pour honeylemon mixture on top. Sprinkle with thyme and, if desired, crushed red pepper.
