I'm not a vegetarian, but I love this recipe. The haloumi is so flavorful and satisfying, I don't even miss the meat.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover haloumi. I had some leftover from another recipe and it worked perfectly in this dish.

I served the stacks with a side of balsamic vinegar. It was a great way to add a little extra flavor.

I grilled the haloumi instead of pan-frying it. It was still delicious, but I think I prefer the pan-fried version better.

I used a store-bought pesto and it worked just fine. I think this recipe would be even better with a homemade pesto, but I didn't have the time to make one.

I added some roasted red peppers to the stacks and it gave them a nice smoky flavor. I would definitely recommend trying this variation.

I used sun-dried tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes and it was still delicious. I think this recipe would be great with any type of tomato.
