Garlic-Thyme Toast (optional, however I like taking advantage of the Buy 1, Get 1 50% off Full-Sized French Baguette deal on Tuesdays!)
1 Full-Sized French Baguette, halved lengthwise
4 Tbsp softened butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
Optional: ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
In a small bowl, combine 2 Tbsp honey, 2 Tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp thyme, and a pinch of chili flakes. Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add halloumi slices and cook, undisturbed, until golden, about 2 minutes. Flip, and add honey-thyme mixture. Spoon the mixture over halloumi slices and allow them to caramelize for 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer halloumi to a plate.
