It’s Zaatar day yayyy 🥳🥳 I decided to celebrate this day with a very special breakfast.
Zaatar, cheese or chocolate croissants are found in almost every bakery in Beirut. The croissants are usually prefilled with one of those ingredient then baked.
Since here in the UK I can’t find those prefilled zaatar and cheese croissants, I got plain croissants and made my own 🥰
I mixed zaatar and cheese but you can definitely choose one or the other
