Manakish with Za'atar or Cheese is a flavorful Middle Eastern flatbread that's perfect for breakfast, a light lunch, or a snack. The thin dough is baked until golden brown and topped with a rich mixture of za'atar - aromatic herbs, sesame seeds and olive oil. Gooey melted cheese is added on top, which makes the taste even softer and richer. Each manakish is cooked right before serving, so it comes out hot, crispy on the edges and tender on the inside. The spicy aroma of za'atar awakens the appetite, and the combination of spices and cheese creates the same balance of flavors that is so beloved in Middle Eastern cuisine.
This dish is ideal as a stand-alone treat or as an addition to coffee, tea and fresh vegetables. Manakish is great to share with friends or enjoy alone, savoring every bite.
