Why it works

Grainy sourdough balanced by halloumi and a whole avocado: plenty of protein and fat to slow things down. Read: It's not just your blood sugar: why insulin matters too →

No scales needed. Measurements are here if you want them, but it’s often easier to watch the reel, judge it by eye and have a go. Just keep the protein, fat and fibre on the plate.

Macros and real-life GL are for the recipe as written.

2 slices Jason's Grains & Seeds sourdough
80g halloumi, sliced
1 tsp chilli oil
1 small avocado (about 100g flesh)
6 cherry tomatoes, chopped
Chilli flakes, salt and pepper
1 tsp honey

Swap it

Halloumi → paneer, same weight.
Sourdough → any seeded or rye sourdough.

Method

Fry the halloumi in the chilli oil until golden on both sides.
Toast the sourdough.
Mash the avocado with the tomatoes, salt, pepper and chilli flakes, and spread over the toast.
Lay the halloumi on top and finish with a drizzle of honey.
