- Take the dried halloumi and place it in the flour first, then the beaten egg, and finally the nutty crumb and carefully place it in the heated oil.
- Cook until golden on both sides, then drain on kitchen paper.
- Prepare the brioche bun by spreading Ballymaloe Mayo on the base and Ballymaloe Pepper Relish on the lid.
- Layer up your tomatoes, red onion, walnut-encrusted burger, sliced avocado and lettuce, before popping on the brioche bun lid.
- Serve an extra ramekin of Ballymaloe Pepper Relish with each burger... it’s so good that you are always left wanting more!
