Measure the ingredients into separate bowls and organize the counter so you do not lose time searching during the warm steps.
Heat the pan over medium heat for 2 minutes.
Warm both sides of the bread slices lightly in the dry pan so the labneh spreads easily.
Spread a thin layer of labneh on the breads, make a small well in the center, and drizzle the olive oil into it.
Divide the olives and fresh mint over the top, then balance with salt.
Sprinkle with zaatar if desired and serve warm while the surface is still glossy, because the crisp edges soften as it cools.
💡 Tip: Make a small well in the labneh as you spread it so the olive oil gathers there; each bite keeps a balance of labneh and oil. Zaatar is a signature of Levantine breakfasts.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with mint tea or fresh pomegranate juice, plus a small plate of olive oil and zaatar for dipping.
