Slice the halloumi cheese into approximately 1 cm thick slices, yielding about 6-8 slices.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Place the halloumi slices in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the halloumi from the pan and set aside.
While the halloumi is cooking, cut the sourdough bread slices in a half if they are large; toast the bread slices in a toaster until golden brown.
Slice the tomato and cucumber into thin rounds, and the red onion into very thin slices.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil with the balsamic glaze, salt, and black pepper.
To assemble the sandwich, place a layer of baby spinach on two of the toasted bread slices.
Top the spinach with sliced tomato, cucumber, and red onion.
Lay the grilled halloumi slices evenly atop the vegetables.
Drizzle the balsamic dressing over the halloumi and vegetables.
Finish by placing the remaining toasted bread slices on top, pressing down gently.
Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately to enjoy the warm, melted halloumi goodness.
