It's leb-nay, not lab-nah. This brings the flavors of my childhood onto one slice of toast. This is my Simple Labneh Toast, and it's quite delicious and savory. You have labneh sitting on a bed of arugula to aid digestion, kalamata olives for more healthy fats, and zaatar & Aleppo pepper to add some spice.
Switch up your breakfast and add this Middle Eastern-inspired toast into your routine. It's simple and quick to make. Don't be intimidated by the labneh design, it's simpler than you think! Let's get to it.

This recipe is vegetarian.
Â
Ingredients:
- 1 slice of sourdough bread
- 4 tbsps labneh of choice
- Handful of arugula
- 6 kalamata olives, sliced in halves
- Extra virgin olive oil to garnish
- Salt
- Zaatar
- Aleppo pepper
Â
Instructions:
1. Toast the slice of bread.
2. Grab a ziploc bag and add labneh into it. Make sure it all collects into one corner so you can squeeze it out. Cut a small hole at that end.
3. Have the arugula and kalamata olives ready. Set aside.
4. Let's build the toast: add the toast to a plate, layer on the arugula, & gently pipe out the labneh onto the toast. You can do any design you like, I just did a cute swirl. Garnish with olive oil. Season with salt, zaatar, and Aleppo pepper to taste. Top with kalamata olive halves.
5. Slice in half and enjoy!
