Method
- Lightly beat the egg, then put, with the flour and the breadcrumbs, into 3 separate shallow bowls. Dip the halloumi into the flour, then the egg, then breadcrumbs until evenly coated, then set aside.
- For the salsa, heat a glug of oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the onion and garlic until soft, then add the peppers and cook for 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cayenne, then cook for 3 minutes. Season, stir in the parsley, then set aside in a warm place.
- Heat a glug of oil in another pan and fry the halloumi on both sides for 2-3 minutes in total until golden and crisp. Serve the halloumi on top of the salsa with a poached egg, lemon wedges, greek yogurt and sourdough toast.
