Grilled Halloumi & Watermelon Sandwich

Introduction

Are you looking to serve your backyard guests a flavour combo that will blow their minds?! Well, then this sandwich is for you. The saltiness of the grilled halloumi and sweetness of the charred watermelon, all piled into a COBS Bread Gourmet Hamburger Bun brushed with homemade basil pesto, is the refreshing, on-trend, summer sandwich you never knew you needed.

Chef Tip: Pat the watermelon dry prior to oiling for better grilling results.

Directions

  1. Combine all ingredients except olive oil in a food processor or blender and pulse until ingredients are incorporated.
  2. Then slowly drizzle in olive oil to emulsify. Beware not to blend too long to avoid heating the pesto.
  1. Preheat BBQ to high heat.
  2. Brush halloumi and watermelon with grapeseed oil and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Sear until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2-3 minutes.
  4. Lightly butter and carefully toast COBS Gourmet Hamburger Buns on the BBQ until golden brown.
  5. Brush both sides of buns with pesto.
  6. On the bottom bun, place halloumi slices and top with watermelon slices, then place top bun. Serve warm.
