Pan Fried Greek Cheese Alternative Serving Suggestions. This is a Delia Smith recipe and one of my favorite starters or lunch dish. It is supposed to serve four but in our house it serves two! The only thing I have changed over the years is that I leave out the salt from the flour, to season the flour I use some ground pepper and I have added some oregano to it. That's okay, halloumi is also amazing popped under the broiler or fried over high heat in a skillet.
