Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 8 oz halloumi cheese, cut into ½-inch-thick wedges (about 6 pieces); 1 tsp olive oil (for cooking); Sea salt and cracked pepper; 2 tbsp fig molasses (or date molasses); 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil; 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves; ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes; Fleur de sel for finishing

Halloumi cheese, with its high melting point, gets pan-seared until golden and crispy on both sides, then arranged on a plate with a drizzle of dark, concentrated fig molasses and a loose thyme-infused olive oil. The contrast of hot, salty cheese with sweet fig and fragrant herb oil creates a sophisticated bite that feels restaurant-worthy but tastes like confident home cooking.
