Bacon and Halloumi Pittas with Tzatziki

Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Cooking Time: 15-20 minutes (depending on how crispy you like your bacon!)

Ingredients

• 8 rashers bacon
• 2 (small) packets halhoumi cheese
• 4 pitta breads (or 8 small picnic size)
• ½ cucumber (de-seeded and grated)
• 30 sprigs mint (shredded)
• 1 clove garlic (crushed)
• 4 tsp Greek yoghurt
• Juice of ½ a lemon
• Salt and pepper
• Olive oil

Method

• Using a char-grill pan, cook the bacon, and move to the oven to keep warm.
• Cut the halloumi into ½” thick slices and cook on the grill until golden. Keep warm.
• Mix together the cucumber, mint, garlic and yoghurt. Season the lemon juice with salt and pepper.
• Heat pittas on the grill or in the toaster. Slit open and fill with tzatziki.
