HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Toast the sourdough bread slices in a toaster or a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side.

02

While the bread is toasting, prepare your labneh and za'atar.

03

Once toasted, place the bread slices on serving plates.

04

Generously spread 1/4 cup of labneh over each slice of toasted bread.

05

Evenly sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of za'atar over the labneh on each toast.

06

Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over each piece of toast.

07

If desired, sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a little kick. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For an extra fresh touch, garnish with a few fresh mint leaves or a sprinkle of chopped parsley. You can also add sliced cucumbers or tomatoes on top for a more substantial meal.

Easy Substitutions

If labneh is unavailable, use thick Greek yogurt, strained overnight in a cheesecloth. If you don't have sourdough, any sturdy bread like whole wheat or ciabatta will work. Sumac can be used if za'atar is not available, though the flavor profile will be different.

Storage & Reheating

This dish is best enjoyed fresh. Assembled toast does not store well, as the bread will become soggy. Store leftover labneh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
