Then, cut the halloumi into small cubes, pour some flour into one bowl, add two free-range eggs to another and whisk them up, then add breadcrumbs to a third bowl. Dip the halloumi in the flour, then the eggs, and then the breadcrumbs

Get a pan on the heat, fill it 2cm high with vegetable oil, and heat, then add the croutons. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

Take a knife and run it around the edge of each ramekin then tip the soufflés out and put them in individual serving dishes or in a large dish. Mix together the cream and three-quarters of the remaining Parmesan-style cheese. Pour this over the soufflés and sprinkle with the rest of the Parmesan-style cheese, then bake in the oven for 10 minutes and serve straight away with the salad leaves and marmalade, if using.
