  3. 3 Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  4. 4 Lay the slices of halloumi on the top of the frittata as the edges start to set. Place the skillet under the broiler until the top of the frittata is fully set and cheese is slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
