Ingredients
- 1 large Hawaiian sweet roll (preferably a sandwich-size bun)
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil, divided
- 2 oz halloumi cheese, sliced into 2–3 pieces
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons mayo
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 scallion, sliced or julienned
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Toast the Hawaiian roll in a skillet or over a grill until lightly golden, then set aside.
- Heat half the butter or oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the halloumi slices and fry for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden and crisp. Set aside.
- Add the remaining butter or oil to the skillet. Crack in the egg. Once the whites begin to set, you may gently break and spread the yolk if you want it evenly distributed. Cook for about 4 minutes or until it reaches your preferred doneness.
- In a small bowl, mix the mayo and Sriracha to create a smooth spicy mayo.
- Spread spicy mayo on the cut sides of the toasted bun. Layer with grilled halloumi, the fried egg, scallions, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Close the sandwich and serve immediately.
Notes
- Add fresh chili or more Sriracha for extra heat.
- Sprinkle fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for brightness.
- Add avocado slices for extra creaminess.
- Toast the bun in butter for richer flavor.
- For campfire cooking, grill halloumi directly and cook the egg in a cast-iron skillet.
