Fig Jam, Labneh & Walnut Toast served in a warm rustic Lebanese table setting

From Toula's table

The contrast is the point: tangy labneh softens the sweetness of the jam while walnuts add crunch.

Method

Step by step

  1. 1

    Spread the toasted bread generously with labneh.

  2. 2

    Spoon the fig jam over the labneh without fully mixing the two layers.

  3. 3

    Finish with walnuts, sesame and herbs if using. Serve immediately.

Toula Tip

Toast the walnuts for a few minutes first; it makes a noticeable difference to their aroma and crunch.

Serving suggestion

Good for breakfast or an afternoon snack with coffee or tea.

Storage

Assemble just before eating. Keep labneh and opened jam refrigerated according to their labels.

Substitutions

Use ricotta or thick yogurt in place of labneh; pistachios or almonds can replace walnuts.
