Sweet & Savoury Labneh Toast

Sweet & Savoury Labneh Toast

Recipe by Michael Weldon

Serves – 2
Prep Time – 15 mins
Cook Time – 10 mins

Ingredients

1 cup Jalna Organic Biodynamic Dairy Yoghurt
4 slices of sourdough bread
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1 tbs capers
A few sprigs of fresh thyme
¼ cup mixed berries such as blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries
1 tbs honey
Cracked Coles black pepper, to taste
Coles sea salt, to taste

Method

Place the Jalna Organic Biodynamic Dairy Yoghurt into a piece of cheesecloth or a clean Chux cloth. Squeeze gently to remove excess liquid, forming a thick labneh consistency. Set aside.

Drizzle extra virgin olive oil onto the sourdough slices and toast them in a pan over medium heat until golden and charred on both sides. Remove from the pan and spread a generous layer of labneh onto each slice.

In the same pan, add the shallots and cherry tomatoes. Cook over medium heat until the shallots soften and the tomatoes blister, about 5 minutes. Add the capers and fresh thyme, seasoning with sea salt and cracked pepper to taste.

Top one slice of labneh toast with the berry mixture and drizzle with honey. On another slice, spoon over the blistered tomato, shallot, and caper mixture.

Serve immediately.

• 3 tbsp raw sugar

• pinch of salt

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp all spice 

• 3 overripe bananas

• 1 cup of milk

• 1/2 cup of Jalna Greek-style yoghurt

• 2 tbs vegetable oil

• unsalted butter for cooking

• Jalna Greek-style yoghurt to serve

• 1 punnet of fresh blueberries

• Coles maple syrup

Method

• Start the recipe by sifting the self raising flour and baking powder into a large bowl, before adding a pinch of salt, the all spice and raw sugar. Set this bowl aside for now.

• In a seperate bowl add the bananas and mash with the back of a fork before adding the milk, yoghurt and vegetable oil. Add this mixture into the flour mix and gently fold the mix together using a spatula until just combined.

• Preheat a large non-stick pan over medium heat before adding a dollop of butter. Cover the base of the pan with the butter by swirling the pan. Now add your desired amount of pancake batter to the pan and cook for 2 minutes per side. You know when the pancake is ready to flip because you will start to see bubbles forming on the top side.
