Can I make these ahead of time and freeze them? Then defrost and bake when ready to make them? Thank you Dominica

@Dominica Gaudioso, hey! Did you try out making these ahead of time and freezing them? If you did, how did they turn out? Really wanting to do this as a side dish for Christmas this year so interested to see if I could make ahead of time. Thanks in advance!

Hi Gloria. Do you mean a dip? My personal favourite with any cheese is sweet chilli. It works perfectly! Emma x

I've never heard of Halloumi Cheese. Please describe the flavor. These bites look delicious!!! Carol

Hi Carol. So halloumi cheese is a firm and squeaky kind of cheese with a very salty flavour. It doesn’t melt when heated either, it holds its shape. I’m curious, where are you from? Halloumi cheese is everywhere in the western world, I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone that hasn’t heard of it! Emma x
