Mushroom & Halloumi Burger Melt with Leerdammer

Mushroom & Halloumi Burger Melt with Melted Leerdammer 

My last sandwich is a burger that's not a burger.

I've had a fun week coming up with new recipes for sandwiches using Leerdammer cheese. I've made a new take on a BLT, a falafel stack on a crusty baguette, deep filled quesadillas and summery pinwheel sandwiches. For my last sandwich I decided to make a mushroom burger. 

A big juicy roasted mushroom, on top of crispy golden halloumi cheese, topped with roasted red pepper and finished with a slice of melted Leerdammer.

A fabulous end to the week.

Also, try Saganaki fried halloumi, which is a meze-style dish from Cyprus.

  2. We are very tempted to try making these! So many gorgeous flavours in one bun. How did you manage to eat them without messy collapses though?
