Halloumi burger with amba and sumac mayo
The halloumi burger is a great alternative to the meaty ham or cheeseburger. Because sometimes I get the urge to eat really tasty junk food. And because I’ve been cutting back on my meat consumption more and more recently, I’ve created this really brilliant crispy halloumi burger with two delicious sauces.
Bistro Badia’s crispy halloumi burger
I am proud to present the first burger by Bistro Badia! A burger not only for all vegetarians, but also for all cheese lovers and people who don’t like meat.
Preparing the halloumi burger is really simple and quicker than ordering it at the drive-in. However, it is worth preparing the burger ingredients in advance:
- Prepare the mango sauce amba
- Prepare the sumac mayo
- cut the vegetables
- Build a breading line for the halloumi patty
- Preheat the deep fryer, oven or pan
As soon as you have all the halloumi burger ingredients together and prepared, you’re ready to go.
The halloumi patty is deep-fried in hot oil until the breading has become crispy and has turned a golden brown color. If you want to save a few calories, you can also prepare the halloumi in a hot air fryer or in a pan.
The burger bun is cut open, spread with sauces, topped with vegetables and the patty and the halloumi burger is ready to be served and eaten.
Have fun preparing the cheese burger and, of course, bon appétit.

Away with ketchup and co. – delicious sauces for halloumi burgers
You can safely leave the ketchup and mustard in the cupboard with the Cripsy Halloumi Burger. For the cheese burger, we use the fruity and spicy mango sauce from Levante: Amba! And we spice up the mayo with parsley, mint and a good portion of sumac.
The result is a burger experience that you are guaranteed never to have had before. The burger is crispy, juicy, fruity and, thanks to the sumac-herb mayo, unfolds the special aroma of the Levant.
