Easy Za'atar Manakeesh -- DF, V

Most manakeesh is made from scratch, and while that’s always better, we prefer this shortcut. This is traditionally served for breakfast in Arabic countries, but makes an excellent and wholesome afternoon snack. Serve with suggested sides to round it out.

Serves 4 Adults

• 4 flatbreads such as pita or plain naan 
  
• ⅓ C za’atar
  
• ¼ C extra virgin olive oil
  

Optional Sides:

• Sliced tomatoes
  
• Sliced cucumbers
  
• Olives
  
• Sliced mozzarella cheese (fresh!)
  

In a small bowl, mix together za’atar and EEVO. The measurements are approximate. It should resemble a pesto. If you have too much EEVO, it will run off the sides. If it is too dry, the za’atar flavor will be overpowering. Adjust as necessary.

Spread the mixture generously onto the flatbread as if you are saucing a pizza. Toast in a toaster oven or big oven until golden brown. Slice into quarters and serve warm.
