Ingredient Substitution Guide

Method

1. Firstly, combine the zaatar powder with olive oil and mix it into a smooth paste.

2. Coat the bread slices with the paste – four sides in total – with this mix.

3. Next, on a flat iron griddle, toast the bread slices on a medium flame.

4. Place the kashkaval cheese (a cheese made of cow's milk, sheep's milk or both) over it and combine the two slices of bread to form a sandwich. Toast until golden brown or until the cheese melts.

5. Serve it hot with sliced cucumber and tomato, sprinkle with mint leaves for a hearty meal. Enjoy!

Note: You can also substitute the cheese with any Arabic cheese of your choice and add Ajvar Balkan sauce for tang.
