A staple of Turkish breakfast tables, this no-cook sandwich combines olive spread crushed with walnuts and balanced with pomegranate molasses. Layered with cream cheese and vegetables, it makes a filling breakfast.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Make the Olive Spread

10 min

Process the pitted olives with the walnuts, pomegranate molasses, olive oil, and Turkish red pepper flakes until the spread is slightly chunky.

2

Prepare the Cheese

5 min

Beat the cream cheese with a fork until soft and spreadable.

3

Prepare the vegetables

10 min

Thinly slice the tomato and cucumber, then blot away their moisture with a paper towel.

4

Assemble

10 min

Spread cream cheese on one slice of loaf bread and olive spread on another. Add the tomato, cucumber, and lettuce leaf, then close the sandwich.

Reminder

Do not process the olive spread for too long; leaving it slightly chunky preserves its texture. Blot the vegetables dry with a paper towel before assembling, or the bread may get soggy. Contains wheat/gluten, dairy, and tree nuts (walnuts).
