Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C and line a muffin pan with 12 paper liners.
- Place the halloumi, both flours, the baking powder, nigella seeds, and mint in a large mixing bowl and add 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and white pepper.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, and yogurt, then stir them into the flour mixture until just combined. Do not overmix, or the muffins will be dense.
- Spoon the batter into the muffin liners and bake for about 20 minutes, until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin emerges clean.
HALLOUMI, WATERMELON, AND MINT SALAD
Halloumi cheese and fresh, juicy watermelon are a fantastic salty-sweet pair. In Cyprus, fresh halloumi slices are served with watermelon for breakfast or dessert, but I think frying the halloumi and adding mint increases the flavor and makes a delightful summer salad.

HALLOUMI, CHICKPEA, AND TOMATO SALAD WITH MINT
Halloumi is the hot new cheese! Well, really, it's ancient, not new--but it is best fried or grilled, so "hot" is fair, isn't it? This fresh salad combines halloumi with tomatoes, mint, and chickpeas, Mediterranean-style.
