Grilled Cheese Burger
A grilled sandwich built around thick-sliced halloumi seared until golden and squeaky-soft inside, layered on a toasted brioche bun with charred tomato, red onion, and a lemon-oregano yogurt sauce. Greek flavours of oregano, olive oil, and lemon anchor the burger, served with arugula.
