1 pkg 200g Tre Stelle® Halloumi cheese cut lengthwise into 1/4” slices, each slice cut into 4 strips
2 sprigs fresh mint, leaves only, finely chopped
¼ cup olive tapenade
1 tsp freshly grated lemon zest
1 tbsp olive oil
1 – 45 g package wonton wrappers
¼ cup za’atar seasoning
additional olive oil to brush wontons before baking
plain Greek yogurt and olive oil for dipping (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425ºF (218ºC)
Combine the mint, olive tapenade, lemon zest and olive oil in a small bowl; set aside.
With a wonton wrapper positioned diagonally, place a Halloumi strip and ½ tsp of tapenade mixture onto the bottom corner of the wonton.
Fold the sides of the wrapper over the Halloumi and roll up into a cigar shape.
Brush open edge with a bit of water to seal; repeat until all of the Halloumi is used.
Place rolls seam side down on a parchment lined cookie sheet; brush with olive oil and sprinkle generously with za’atar.
Bake for 30 minutes until golden.
For a crispier alternative, try deep frying spring rolls. Heat 1 ½ to 2” canola oil in a medium saucepan until a 365ºF temperature is reached. Fry rolls in batches of 6 until golden brown.
Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and sprinkle generously with za’atar seasoning.
