Ingredient Notes
For this recipe, you’ll need grape tomatoes, halloumi cheese, fresh oregano, and balsamic glaze. Cherry tomatoes can be substituted for grape tomatoes, while any herb can stand in for oregano. I recommend using high-quality halloumi for the best melting experience.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Drizzle the skewers with balsamic glaze and sprinkle fresh oregano on top for an aromatic boost.
- Place the skewers on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the tomatoes burst and the halloumi is golden brown.
Things I’ve Learned
If you’re short on time, consider prepping the skewers a few hours in advance and storing them in the refrigerator. They’re best when fresh but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes. Watch closely while roasting to prevent the halloumi from becoming too chewy.

Q: Can I make this vegan?
