Method
- Heat the oven to 180ºC fan/gas 6. Pat the halloumi dry with kitchen paper. Put the egg, flour and breadcrumbs in 3 separate shallow bowls. Dip the slices in the flour, then the egg and finally coat in the breadcrumbs. Arrange on a baking tray lined with baking paper, drizzle with olive oil, then bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and crisp.
- Meanwhile, make the tartare sauce by mixing the mayonnaise, red onion, capers, lemon and dill. Spread the tartare on 3 slices of the bread. Top each with lettuce, gherkins (if you like) and 2 pieces of halloumi, then sandwich with the remaining slices of bread. Eat straightaway.
