Haloumi cheese is really a great addition to many dishes and meals. I love it plain, but it is unbelievable when cooked in a skillet. Slice it about 1/4 inch thick and fry on each side until a light golden brown. It can be used as a meat substitute accompanying eggs, or Tahini, or rolled grape leaves. Well you get the idea.
Haloumi cheese has a very unique flavor. It is a goat cheese that I first discovered when in Cyprus. It is plentiful throughout the Mediterranean region, but may be hard to find in many grocery stores.
