Scoot that to one side of the skillet and sauté the onion on the other side of the pan. When the onion has softened, top the corned beef with your favorite sliced cheese. I love pepper jack! Let the cheese melt by covering your skillet with a lid or by placing a baking sheet over it until the cheese is all deliciously melty.

Take a large spatula and carefully lift the cheesy corned beef out of the pan on onto your bagel bottom. Top the corned beef with the sautéed onions. Cut the sandwich in half or eat whole. Enjoy!

Fiery harissa, salty halloumi, peppery rocket, sweet tomato salsa and creamy mayo: this halloumi bagel is a sandwich you’ll want to eat again and again.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 200 g fresh cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 3 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
• 1 tsp soft light brown sugar
• 1 tsp balsamic glaze
• 225 g halloumi cheese (cut into thin slices)
• 4 tbsp harissa paste
• 4 bagels
• 4 tbsp mayonnaise
• 100 g fresh rocket (arugula)
• Pinch salt and black pepper

Instructions

1. Warm the olive oil in a pan over a medium heat.
2. Add the cherry tomatoes, garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Fry for 2 minutes or until the tomatoes really start to release their juices.
4. Add the brown sugar and balsamic glaze. Stir through then turn the heat down to low and continue to gently cook, stirring occasionally until the relish darkens and thickens.
5. Meanwhile, prepare the halloumi. Start by laying the slices out on a board.
6. Brush the harissa paste all over the both sides of the halloumi slices. Tip: Use a silicone brush rather than a pastry brush so that the bristles don’t soak up the spicy, smoky flavours.
7. Heat a griddle pan over a medium heat.  When the pan is nice and hot, lay the halloumi slices into the pan. You want them sear on the outside and stay gooey on the inside. Fry for 1-2 minutes.
8. Flip and fry for a further 1-2 minutes so that you have a lovely sear on both sides.
9. Halve all of the bagels and spread the bottom halves with mayo.
10. Add a generous layer of rocket.
11. Pile on the halloumi.
12. Spoon on the relish.
