I followed the recipe exactly and my halloumi didn't get crispy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning.

Halloumi Saganaki was a hit at our dinner party! The cheese was perfectly crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. The lemon-herb sauce was flavorful and complemented the halloumi beautifully. Will definitely be making this again.
