Method

Nutty toasts
  • 1
    Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with foil.

    Brush each side of bread with oil. Cut into fingers and arrange on tray. Bake for 5-10 minutes, turning once, until golden.

    Spread onto brioche toasts and serve with an extra sprinkle of za'atar and drizzle of oil. Top with extra mint leaves.

Notes

Za'atar is a spice blend of sumac, sesame seeds and dried thyme. Roast hazelnuts until golden. Place in a tea towel while hot and use the tea towel to rub away the skins.
