Sesame-Crusted Haloumi Burger

In the shallow bowl, whisk the egg with a fork. On a plate, combine the sesame seeds, black sesame seeds and plain flour.

Pat the haloumi dry with paper towel. Dip the haloumi slices into the egg, then gently press both sides into the sesame seed flour mixture. Place the sesame-crusted haloumi on a plate, ready to fry! TIP: Though a little messy, coating haloumi in sesame seeds provides a fabulous crunch and flavour.

In a medium frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the sesame-crusted haloumi and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the sesame seeds are golden and the haloumi is soft. Transfer to a plate and set aside. TIP: Flip the haloumi only once to help the sesame seeds stay on while cooking.

Place the bake-at-home burger buns on a plate and microwave for 1 minute. Halve the buns and toast in the frying pan over a medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes or until golden. TIP: If you don't have a microwave, you can bake the buns on the wire rack at 180°C/160°C fan-forced for 3 minutes, or until heated through. Reserve a handful of mixed salad leaves for the burgers. In a medium bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar and olive oil (2 tsp for 2 people) / (1 tbs for 4 people). Add the grated carrot and remaining mixed salad leaves and toss to coat.
