Instructions

1. Drain any water in the pack off the halloumi then cut the cheese into roughly 3/4 inch cubes - think bite sized!
2. To coat these pieces of cheese you need a bit of a process
3. Start with putting the flour on a small dish or plate.  
4. Then crack the egg into a shallow dish and give a quick beat
5. Tip your camelina seeds into another shallow dish
6. Have an empty dish or plate for putting the coated cheese in before frying
7. Start by rolling the cheese pieces in the flour, coating on all sides
8. Then dip in the beaten egg, making sure each side is covered before transferring to the plate with the seeds
9. I try and do this process with my left hand (I'm right handed) and roll the cheese in the seeds with my right hand.  Your left hand is going to get muckier than your right so it helps to keep one hand a little cleaner for coating!
10. I also do a few at a time before rolling them in the seeds, transferring the coated cheese to the empty plate then repeat the process till I've used up all the cheese
11. When all your little bits of cheese are coated gently heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan before adding the cheese.  You might want to do this in a couple of batches if you use the whole pack of cheese as you need to keep constantly turning the cheese round to colour each side
12. Just sizzle for a few moments (takes less than a minute) each side before turning.  Once they're cooked, transfer to a plate with a piece of kitchen towel 
13. If you're not eating straight away you can put them in the oven while you sizzle the next batch - try a low oven around 120 Fan / 140 C / 275 F / Gas 1
14. I've also eaten these cold out of the fridge and they're just as yummy!
