Queijo Coalho Two Ways
A beach snack turns into a show stopping holiday appetizer.
I took my favorite beach snack from Rio and turned it into a super easy at-home recipe that is perfect for a holiday appetizer. A cheese plate is a classic, but what if the cheese was wonderfully warm and drizzled with honey? Upgrades FTW.

Servings: 6-10 for apps
Active Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
What You Need
2 blocks of Halloumi Cheese
1-2 teaspoons dry oregano
Mikes Hot Honey or regular honey
1/4 cup shelled and chopped roasted pistachios
What To Do
Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees
Slice the cheese into ½ inch thick slices and about 1-2 inches long
Bake in two batches for approximately 10 - 12 minutes (time may vary by air fryer)
Season the first batch with oregano
For the second batch, drizzle with honey then top with ¼ cup chopped pistachios
Serve with festive toothpicks as an appetizer
Note: I used my kitchen supertool the Our Place Wonder Oven; in this style Air Fryer I rotated my tray at 6 minutes and left them in for a total of 12 minutes. No air-fryer? These can go on a grill or hot pan instead.
