This is the type of snack I would take on the go because of how small they are. More than a year ago I came up with my Mini Zaatar Multigrain Roll Ups and you loved them. So here are my Zaatar & Mozzarella Bites! Since it's Ramadan, I thought these tiny snacks would be a great source of energy during suhoor since it's hard to stomach large meals so early in the morning.
Besides it being Ramadan, these snacks are so great to make for your work/school week. You can add them to a breakfast bento box with some fruit and eggs and you have yourself a balanced breakfast. You can also opt to bring them as a mid-day snack, it's up to you. If you have kids, these are also such an easy way to get them to eat a healthy snack. No matter who you're making these for, they are perfect for all ages. All you are going to need is tortillas, zaatar, olive oil, Aleppo pepper, and mozzarella. This whole tray took 15 minutes to prep, and 15 minutes to bake.
I wanted to mention that there is an optional ingredient addition - sun dried tomato spread. I found this spread at Eataly and I added some to 1 of my 6 tortillas just for *fun* and it turned out SO good. So if you want to add some extra flavor to your bites, try this one out! Let's get to it.
