How to Make Best Lebanese Pita Bread Spread
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Split pita breads in half and carefully open them out, creating two flat layers.
- In a mortar and pestle, combine 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, and 1 tablespoon poppy seeds.
- Gently crush the seeds and herbs with the pestle to release their aroma and oils. Don't pulverize them completely; some texture is desirable.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of high-quality olive oil until well combined.
- Spread the mixture evenly over both cut sides of the pita bread slices.
- Grill the pita bread for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Remove from grill and let cool slightly before breaking into pieces.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dips, such as baba ganoush, guacamole, or hummus.
