Ingredients

Flatbread Base

  • 2 pieces flatbread store-bought or homemade
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for brushing

Zaatar Mix

  • 2 tbsp zaatar spice blend
  • 2 tbsp olive oil to mix with zaatar

Toppings

  • 1 cup labneh
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • ¼ red onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or mint
  • Pinch of Aleppo pepper or chili flakes optional
  • Drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to finish

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the baking sheet or pizza stone inside to heat up.
  • Mix zaatar and olive oil in a small bowl until it forms a spreadable paste.
  • Prepare flatbread by brushing each piece lightly with olive oil on one side.

Assembly & Baking

  • Remove the heated baking sheet from the oven. Place the oiled flatbreads on it.
  • Spread the zaatar mixture evenly over the top of each flatbread.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crisp.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Then, dollop or spread labneh generously over each flatbread.
  • Top with cherry tomatoes, red onion, and fresh herbs.
  • Finish with a light drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of Aleppo pepper if desired.

Notes

  • Shortcut: Use naan or pita for a quicker flatbread option.
  • Variation: Add crumbled feta or olives for more saltiness.
  • Vegan swap: Substitute labneh with plant-based yogurt cheese.
  • Make it brunch-ready: Add a soft-boiled egg on top just before serving.
