Halloumi Bites with Cranberry Sauce

1: Heat cranberries, hot honey, water, and orange juice on the stove until simmering, then simmer for 5-8 minutes, stirring often.

2: Crush cranberries to release juices and allow the sauce to thicken slightly.

3: Strain the sauce through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl and set aside.

4: Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

5: Whisk the eggs in one bowl and mix panko, parmesan, and seasonings in another bowl.

6: Toss all halloumi in the eggs, then dip each piece in the panko mixture.

7: Arrange halloumi bites on the baking sheet, leaving space between each.

8: Bake for 15 minutes, carefully flip each piece, then bake for another 8-12 minutes until crispy and slightly browned.

9: Serve immediately with cranberry sauce.
