Za’atar Crusted Peach & Tomato Toast

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I love summer recipes more than anything, and this za’atar crusted peach & tomato toast is one of those perfect warm-weather recipes. It’s just your normal toast, but it has an extra layer of crunch and flavor from an olive-oil based za’atar crust that is just beyond words. It makes this toast a total flavor bomb, but also a total treat. And I rarely use the word treat, because first I think it sounds weird, but ALSO, treats have to be very warranted.

This peach and tomato toast earns that title of delicious and wholesome because it combines all of my favorite things – pan crusted toast, melty burrata, fresh juicy peaches and sun-ripened tomatoes. Make it for your next summer brunch and watch as the compliments roll in. People will say it’s a treat too 😉

What is za’atar?

Za’atar is one of my absolute favorite spice mixes. It varies from region to region, but consists of a family of Middle Eastern herbs. Most za’atars will typically include oregano, basil, thyme, sumac, sesame seeds and salt. It has a rich, herbaceous flavor and adds an interesting depth and complexity to any dish – even though it’s just one spice mix! I love putting za’atar on focaccia or as part of this tofu recipe.

Ingredients for this peach & tomato toast

  • 2 slices sourdough bread
  • 1 small heirloom tomato
  • 1 small yellow peach
  • 2-3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp za’atar
  • 4 ounces burrata
  • 2 sprigs fresh basil
  • flakey salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste

How to make this summer tomato toast

This toast is quick, but it’s all about timing.

First, thinly slice the heirloom tomato and peach into circular pieces. Set these aside.
Put a pan that has a tight fitting lid on medium heat and add a generous glug of olive oil. Let this heat up before adding in the slices of bread. The bread should sizzle when it hits the pan (of course!)
Drizzle more olive oil on the sides of the bread facing up, and then rub in 1/2 tbsp of za’atar seasoning on each slice. When the bottoms of the slices are golden brown, flip them over so the za’atar side is on the pan. Turn the heat to low.
Add 2 ounces of burrata to each slice of bread, and quickly cover the pan with its lid. This will steam and melt the cheese.
Let the cheese melt for about 1-2 minutes, and then transfer the toasts to plates.
Top with the tomato slices, peach slices and fresh basil. Sprinkle on salt and pepper and eat immediately.

Here are a few that I love (and will never stop loving)

Radish Greens Salad on Avocado Toast
This salad-on-toast uses the whole radish, and I mean the whole radish – greens and all. It's such a phenomenal way to make sure you have no vegetable waste, and the salad itself is a dream. It uses a rich, dilly yogurt dressing and a creamy, crunchy avocado toast base to make a fantastic, easy and vegetable-forward plate.

Sundried Tomato Oil on Toast
This sun-dried tomato spread is simple and truly addictive. I put it on everything from toast, to grain bowls, to cheese boards. It's so versatile and great to have in your back pocket.
Check out this recipe
Apple Tahini Toast
This upside-down apple tahini toast is like apple pie in a breakfast. It's sweet, crunchy, and subtly creamy from the tahini. The apple cooks perfectly in the oven making this a gorgeous, glossy (but still low-effort!) toast.

Za’atar Crusted Peach & Tomato Toast

This peach and tomato toast has something really special to it – a crispy, crusty, flavorful za'atar crusted bottom. It's a subtle difference to your normal toast that you won't notice right away, but as soon as you taste it, it changes the whole toast. Add ripe heirloom tomatoes and perfect peaches and this toast turns into perfection.

Over a year after our queen Emily Mariko put Craft Over a year after our queen Emily Mariko put Craftsman & Wolves on the radar of everyone outside of SF, it’s finally time for an homage recipe! (mostly because I’ve been craving it for a year tbh…I am very behind)

This isn’t a recreation, but instead a vegetarian (the original has pork sausage), sinlge-serving, almost cheesy-tasting variation. I used cornmeal for a little more substance and density, more spices than I can count (they’re all worth it, I promise), and a 6-minute egg, which when enclosed in the batter, stays jammy even after baking 🥚

The full recipe for this single muffin is on the site, and I hope it might make it into your long weekend somewhere 💚 Happy Saturday everyone

SNACKS + CHEF! Today @ayesha_rare invited me int SNACKS + CHEF! 

Today @ayesha_rare invited me into her kitchen at @shukettenyc, one of my favorite places in NYC (and on the NYTimes top 100 list, NO BIG DEAL). 

If you haven’t been to Shukette, they are famous for their small plates, shareable menu and signature “rip & dip” style. Ayesha shared her famous pita recipe (look for that PUFF) and their smoked Arctic char dip - which, yes, I do pick favorites, and yes, that one is it 😍

I’m by no means a professional, so whenever I get to cook with one it’s the most fun thing in the world. As for the recipes, well, you’ll have to check in with Ayesha for those 😎 

**PS the audio might be less than great, but we were in a professional kitchen! With professionals! I’d sacrifice audio for pita any day 🙏

The re-done (and much better!) Gideon’s Cookie r The re-done (and much better!) Gideon’s Cookie remake recipe! Part 1 & 2 will be up in my stories - but long story short, I took one of the worst recipes on my blog, and after painful trial and error, turned it into one of my best.

This video is the culmination of about a week of testing of the iconic @gideonsbakehouse cookie, with various flours, bake times, chocolate and ratios thrown in the mix. 

I’m nowhere near a professional baker, just an enthusiast, so the full journey is on TikTok and reshared in my stories, just in case you want to see but don’t have that app! 

Plus the recipe will be linked in bio, after this much work I would never withhold it from you 💚🍪

Olive oil muddled strawberry Paper Plane - and I’m so so excited to say this is #sponsored by my loves over at @getgraza!

You can check my stories for more info about why I love Graza and why you see them in *almost* every video, but when it comes to olive oil, they have one of my favorite systems. You can subscribe to get two bottles, the larger (The Sizzle) made specifically for cooking, and the smaller (The Drizzle) meant for finishing, dipping, swirling, whatever. And idk how to say this and not sound cheesy, but they’re more than just that brand you see everywhere on social media. Their team is great, their process is great, and their level of quality and flavor. is. great. Their product is all single-origin Spanish olive oil, so I can’t vouch for them more 🫡

And if you don’t want to subscribe, they’re now in Whole Foods! As someone who has known the founders from early on, I felt like a proud child.

Ok, I’m getting emotional. But this cocktail itself could not be easier (recipe in video!), and strawberries marinated in Graza’s single origin drizzle add a peppery note that you have to try at least once.

And last but not least, my code!! JUSTINESNACKS for $5 off your first Graza Duo (Sizzle and Drizzle). Buy Graza in my name to avenge me and I’ll love u forever 💚

Ok, oil on my children - and plz make this drink 🍹

What is essentially Pizza Toast, but all-grown-up. What is essentially Pizza Toast, but all-grown-up. Because a singular anchovy makes everything better. (Also my sourdough was just dying to be put to use)

The full recipe is on the blog, done in 15 minutes or less, and just really delicious. Although tbh my younger self would probably still prefer the microwaved version, which tbh I respect. 

And if there are any nostalgic recipes you made that you’d want recreated, let me know, I’m always down for another savory toast 🍕

A peanut butter cold brew birthday cake! Gift gi A peanut butter cold brew birthday cake! 

Gift giving is not my love language, I’m more of a words of affirmation girl, so I wanted to make this video (and this cake!) my birthday present 🥹

This is the “Ashley’s Birthday Cake” recipe from @joannebchang’s book, Pastry Love. I used just traditional buttercream recipes for the chocolate, peanut butter and vanilla bean buttercreams. Oreo crumble was added, because you all insisted 😌

Happy Birthday @e_lipk4 💚
