These halloumi rolls are an absolute staple in my home, especially when my daughters have their friends over for playdates. Kids seem to love halloumi cheese (and so do the adults!), and this recipe is so simple that it makes entertaining stress-free. Only here to make your life easier, my friend!
Why You’ll Love Halloumi Rolls
The beauty of this recipe is its versatility. While halloumi is the star of the show (and honestly, I can’t imagine life without it), you can easily swap the cheese if needed. Don’t like halloumi? God forbid! But if that’s the case, try:
Feta with oregano instead of mint. Find the recipe here
These rolls aren’t just for kids either. They’re perfect for serving at casual get-togethers, picnics, or even as a quick homemade snack when friends pop by. Another bonus? They freeze beautifully! Double the recipe, bake what you need, and freeze the rest. When you’re ready, simply reheat them in the oven or air fryer, and you’ll have fresh, warm rolls in minutes.
What Makes Them Special
The dough used here is called kourou dough in Greek. It’s made with yogurt, which keeps the rolls soft, fluffy, and delicious. Compared to traditional halloumi pies, which are also much-loved on my blog but take more prep time, these halloumi rolls are quick, fuss-free, and equally tasty.
Honestly, once you try them, they might just become your go-to recipe for playdates, parties, and beyond!

Step 1 In a small pan, add the butter and melt over medium heat. Step 2 Cut the halloumi cheese into small cubes. Step 3 Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and dried mint in a bowl and mix lightly. Step 4 Once the butter has cooled off lightly, mix in the yogurt, olive oil, and two eggs. Mix everything well. Step 5 Preheat oven to 180 degrees and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Step 6 Now mix the wet ingredients with the dry ones. Add the halloumi cheese and combine well. Step 7 Using two big spoons, scoop some mixture and place it on the parchment paper. Use the second spoon to help you slide the mixture off the first spoon. Alternatively, roll them into small balls. Step 8 Bake for 15 minutes or until golden. Enjoy! If you like salty-sweet combinations, try enjoying this roll with a bit of honey! Heaven!
