While many fast food brands are doubling down on artificial meat, Burger King UK has gone a different direction with its new vegetarian-friendly Halloumi Burger. Though not vegan, the new sandwich is a great option for those who eschew meat, but still love the taste of cheese.
For the unfamiliar, halloumi is a semi-hard cheese that's usually made from a mixture of goat's and sheep's milk. Burger King's new Halloumi Burger features a generous slice of halloumi cheese topped with onion, lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo. The whole thing is sandwiched by two fluffy brioche buns to create a hearty vegetarian meal.
