Ingredients
Method
Techniques
- 2 slices thick slices of bread
- mayonnaise
- zaatar
Mix a large squeeze of mayonnaise with a good heap of zaatar; mayo does not burn and spreads more easily than a zaatar butter.
Za'atar mayo for the grilled cheese
- shredded mozzarella mixed with cheddar
- 1 tbsp zaatar
- labneh
- melty Turkish cheese
On one slice, mayo side down, layer shredded mozzarella and cheddar, about a tablespoon of zaatar, a few dollops of labneh and shredded Turkish cheese; level, top with more zaatar and the second slice.
Four-cheese za'atar filling
Fry in a non-stick pan over medium heat, pressing lightly with a spatula, covered with a lid to trap steam, about 2 minutes.
Weigh down with parchment paper and a pot of water and fry until the bottom is crisp and golden.
Flip, weigh down again for about a minute, then cover and steam a few more minutes until the cheese is melted.
