Za'atar Grilled Cheese with Pull-Apart Grooves

Za'atar Grilled Cheese with Pull-Apart Grooves

A simple, cheesy snack with buttery za’atar flavor in every bite. This pull-apart toast is easy to make and perfect for serving as a quick appetizer, snack, or side.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 slices white bread, crusts removed
  • 1–2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1–2 teaspoons Terranean Herbs & Spices Lebanese za’atar, plus more for topping
  • Mozzarella cheese, shredded or sliced, to your preference

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.

  2. Remove the crust from each slice of bread.

  3. Using a knife, lightly score each slice into a tic-tac-toe grid, creating grooves without cutting all the way through.

  4. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and za’atar.

  5. Brush the grooved side of both bread slices generously with the za’atar butter. Sprinkle additional za’atar over the top for extra flavor.

  6. Place mozzarella cheese on the un-grooved side of one slice of bread.

  7. Top with the second slice, keeping the grooved side facing up.

  8. Bake for 5–6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden and crisp.

  9. Gently pull the sandwich apart along the grooves to create cheesy bite-sized squares. Serve hot and enjoy!
