Chef Noor's Tip

Toast the bread just before serving so it stays crisp under the labneh.

Ingredient Swaps

Swap the labneh for cream cheese or strained Greek yogurt.

No walnuts? Try chopped almonds or pecans.

Pomegranate molasses can be replaced with reduced pomegranate juice or a touch of honey with a few drops of lemon.

Common Questions

What bread works best?

Any bread that toasts well, such as whole-wheat or a baguette.

When do I add the pomegranate molasses?

Mix some into the labneh, then drizzle a little over the top just before serving.

Can I prepare it ahead?

Make the labneh mixture ahead, but spread it on the toast right before serving so it stays crisp.

How can I make it more filling?

Add avocado slices or a boiled egg on top.

Is it fine served cold?

Yes, but it is best while the bread is still warm and crisp.
