Instructions

Step 1

Peel and finely slice the onion, place in a bowl with a pinch of sea salt and the vinegar, then scrunch and leave to lightly pickle. Preheat a griddle or non-stick frying pan to mediumhigh. Cut the feta into 6 cubes, then tear open the apricots and stuff in the feta. Grate half the halloumi on to one of the slices of bread, then drain and add the pickle. Top with the stuffed apricots, then destone and tear over the olives. Pick over the dill and most of the mint leaves. Grate over the rest of the halloumi, then press the remaining piece of bread on top. Toast until golden and crisp on both sides, brushing the outside lightly with oil and pressing down as you go. Meanwhile, grate the cucumber into a bowl (discard the watery core), add the yoghurt, pick, finely chop and add the remaining mint leaves, then squeeze over the lemon juice and season to perfection with salt and black pepper. Slice the toastie in half and serve with the dipping sauce.
