TAJIN CHRISTMAS BACON, HALLOUMI, AND CRANBERRY PANINI

Yep, you read that right, folks. A luxury Christmas panini RIGHT HERE. tajinuk makes your meals more bueno.

You just have to try this combo for yourself and see how mouthwatering it is! It’s an easy way to add more flavour to any dish!

For this recipe, I went for the Tajín Clásico Seasong, which is a unique blend of 100% natural chili peppers, lime & sea salt that makes everything bueno, even More Bueno. The honeyed halloumi and salty bacon is such a good combo, but with Tajín Clásico Seasong, it goes up another level!

INGREDIENTS:

2 panini baguettes, sliced in half

4-6 rashers on unsmoked bacon

1 block of halloumi, patted dry and sliced

2 tablespoons of honey

2-3 tablespoons of cranberry sauce

Up to 1- 2 tsps of Tajín Clásico Seasoning

METHOD:

Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a wire rack that is inserted into a sheet pan with greaseproof paper, set aside.

Grab your bacon and pat dry, make sure there is no moisture at all, and lay the slices flat onto your lined wire rack.

Sprinkle over a bit of your Tajín Clásico Seasong and pop in the oven for about 5-7 minutes or until the bacon has crisped up – Pro-tip: Pop on your panini bread slices face down for the last couple of minutes to crisp up the bread and heat it through.

Whilst this is happening, grab a pan and heat it up so it is absolutely hot before adding a few slices of your halloumi.

Sprinkle with more Tajín Clásico Seasong and brown on either side for a couple of minutes and add your honey halfway through so it starts to caramelise onto the cheese. Repeat the process for all of your halloumi slices, plate up, and set to one side.

You are now ready to assemble! Grab your sliced panini and spread cranberry sauce on either side.

Layer up with your bacon and honeyed halloumi slices and finish with the other panini.

ENJOY RIGHT AWAY!
