28-oz packageshalloumi, drained and patted drycut each piece across the equator to result in 4 square slabs
Instructions
In a small bowl, stir together the honey and harissa until combined. Spread mixture on both sides of the burger buns or just set aside for serving.
Heat 2 Tbls oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and deeply browned in spots. When onions start to stick to the pan, add a splash of water and use a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan, stir the onions and continue cooking down. You will likely repeat this procedure several times before determining that your onions are deeply browned, sweet and caramelized. Set aside.
In the same wiped out skillet, heat 2 Tbls oil until it shimmers. Add the slabs of halloumi and sear until browned, about 3 minutes. Flip and sear on the other side, about 3 minutes more.
Transfer a piece of cheese to the bottom of each bun. Top with caramelized onions and the bun top before serving.
Notes
You can grill halloumi on hot oiled grates, uncovered. After grill marks form on one side, flip and repeat on second side. About 5-7 minutes total.
