Disorder | Helpful / Neutral / Risk | Rationale |
POTS | Helpful | Halloumi is naturally salty and high-protein, which helps with blood volume and energy. |
Lupus | Neutral | Higher fat, but not inflammatory for me on lower-pain days. Skip if joints are flaring. |
Vestibular migraine | Depends | Aged cheeses can be a trigger for some. Halloumi is usually lower-histamine than others, but personal tolerance matters. |
What this is
Thick toast, smashed avocado, and aggressively crispy halloumi with chili flakes. It’s salty, chewy, and satisfying in a way that makes your nervous system calm down a notch. Not delicate. Not subtle. Exactly what I wanted.
Ingredients (1 toast)
Item | Amount | Notes |
Bread | 1 thick slice | Sourdough or country loaf |
Halloumi | 3–4 slices | Pan-seared until golden |
Avocado | ½ | Mashed with salt |
Olive oil | For pan | Halloumi doesn’t need much |
Chili flakes | Optional | Skip if spice is risky |
Quick assembly
