Smokey Halloumi Super Bowl Grilled Cheese

These grilled cheese / sliders are perfect finger food for your Super Bowl party! They blend the best of Mediterranean flavors with a smoky kick from Chipotle mayo, a chewy, salty bite from Halloumi cheese, and brioche slider buns for a soft, rich base.

Ingredients:

BREAD
Starter Bakery Brioche Slider Buns (12–15 count)

CHEESES
Creamy Fromage Blanc
Toma (shredded)
Halloumi (sliced thin - Salty, chewy, and adds a grilled texture)

OTHER
Fresh spinach (pre-wilted with olive oil)
Sun-dried tomatoes (Chopped)
Kalamata olives (pitted & sliced)
Chipotle mayo
1/2 stick unsalted butter (for grilling)

DIRECTIONS
- slice the rack of buns evenly in half
- grill the inside of the bread with butter until it's slightly brown and set aside
- wilt the spinach in the pan and set aside
- spread the fromage bottom on the bottom half of the bread rolls just like you would butter
- add a layer of dried tomato on top of the fomage.
- next layer the Toma, and then the spinach on top of that
- next, layer the halloumi and top with a few of the kalamata olives
- I had the Chipotle mayo on top of everything and then press the top of the buns down on top to make sure everything sticks together
- grill on both sides until the cheese is melted
- Feel free to top with leftover dried tomatoes, mayo, and spinach

Serve!
