MEDITTERANEAN BREAKFAST NEST

This superb tasting BREAKFAST NEST is one of my family favorite.
The robust flavor comes from ZA’ATAR, a middle-eastern seasoning combo. It includes many spices as described in STEP 3.
This blend of spices can also be used for:
1. sprinkling on fresh avocado, tomato, or cucumbers for a healthy snack.
2. breakfast - add a depth of flavor into scrambled eggs, or sprinkling it top of fried eggs.
3. Dips - combine with olive oil, hummus, baba ganoush, or plain yogurt with za'atar and scoop it up with pita bread veggies or pita chips
4. Salads get great flavor when topped with a dressing that includes za'atar.
5. Za’atar adds amazing flavor to marinades and dry rubs. Use it to season 🥩meat, 🐠fish, 🐓chicken or 🐑lamb. Also great on 🍔Burgers.
6. avocado toast! - A sprinkling of za'atar on top of avocado toast, with a drizzle of lemon juice and olive oil, will make it jump at you.
ENJOY THIS DELICIOUS AND MOST TASTY TREAT.
