Instructions
- Soak a couple of skewers (wooden ones work well) for 20 minutes in a tray filled with water.
- Take a large bowl. Add the halloumi cheese after dicing it evenly into 6 pieces. Also, add the minced garlic, thyme, lemon juice, & crushed black pepper. Coat the cheese with the rest of the ingredients. Cover the bowl and keep it in the fridge for a few minutes (till the skewer-soaking time is up).
- Set the oven for preheating at 400F.
- Place a seasoned cheese on one end of a bacon strip and roll firmly to seal the cheese inside. Repeat with the rest of the 5 cheese pieces.
- Insert 3 cheese & bacon rolls in each water-soaked skewer. Position the skewers on a shallow baking dish.
- Transfer the dish into the preheated oven. Bake for 15-18 minutes. You’ll know they are done when the bacon crisps up & caramelize with the cheese ends turning golden!
