Grilled Cheese with Grilled Olives

Chef Noor turns a handful of mezze staples into something warm and golden: feta, green and black olives and cherry tomatoes crisped in the air fryer or oven for a few minutes, then showered with olive oil, pomegranate molasses, dried mint, oregano and fresh mint — lovely spooned over toasted bread.

How to Prepare

1

Arrange the cheese, olives and cherry tomatoes in an air-fryer basket or oven tray.

2

Grill in the air fryer or a hot oven for a few minutes, just until the tomatoes blister and the cheese softens and colours.

3

Drizzle generously with olive oil and pomegranate molasses.

4

Scatter over dried mint, oregano and fresh mint leaves.

5

Serve warm, on its own or spooned over toasted bread.

Chef Noor's Tip

Keep an eye on it — a few minutes is all it takes; you want the tomatoes to blister and the cheese to soften, not melt away.
