Want to learn how to make sourdough- here’s a link to the recipe provided by Brothers Green Eats.
What is Labneh you ask? I’m about to make your day. Wait.. unless you are not yogurt lover. Even if you are not, this should turn you into one.
Thick, creamy, tangy, labneh (also known as labne) is yogurt cheese. The creamy thickness is obtained by simply straining yogurt until it loses the majority of its liquid. Can’t resist that now, can you? Spread that on the toast or simply use it as a dip. As soon as that labneh hits your palette, the feeling of that is as though you’ve kissed an angel, mmmhh.. Aaannnddd, back to reality!
Procedure -
- Heat water, pop in the eggs and cook for 14 minutes. Remove and cool, peel cut in quarters.
- Cut 2 1” slices from the sourdough. Toast as desired.
- On the 1st piece of toast, spread the grainy Dijon mustard, topped with 2 eggs.
- Top with 5 to 6 pcs of capers, 2 to 3 pcs of basil, a pinch of dried mint, some lemon juice.
- Finish with a dash of olive oil.
For the second toast -
- Spread a generous amount of the lovely labneh on the toast.
- Cut tomato slices and arrange 2 to 3 pcs on the toast.
- Arrange 1 egg cut into quarters on top of the sliced tomatoes
- Top with 2 to 3 leaves of basil. Sprinkle dried chili seeds.
