Recipe | Halloumi Popcorn Bites

Iona Bower August 15, 2026

Photography by Catherine Frawley

Crispy, gooey, bite-sized treats. Dip in ketchup, tzatziki, plain yogurt or just enjoy on their own.

Serves 6

2 halloumi blocks, cubed

2 eggs, beaten

75g panko breadcrumbs

40g parmesan, grated

½ tsp paprika

3 tbsp sesame seeds

Olive oil

To garnish:

Pomegranate seeds

Fresh parsley

1 Preheat the oven to 200C/Fan 180C/Gas 6, and line two baking sheets with baking paper then set aside.

2 Set your bowls up in order – beaten eggs, panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan with the paprika and

a twist of black pepper mixed in, and finally, a bowl of sesame seeds.

3 Roll each halloumi cube in the egg, then the breadcrumbs, then the parmesan, followed by the sesame seeds. Place on the baking sheet and continue until all the halloumi is used.

4 Drizzle with olive oil, then bake for 10 mins, turn each cube and bake for a further 10 mins. Serve with a garnish of pomegranate seeds and parsley.

This is just one of the recipes from our feature, ‘Setting The Scene’ - a menu for a film night held in your garden. It also includes recipes for Veggie Dolmades, Chicken Gyros, Greek Salad, Portokalopita Cake and Greek Mojitos.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
