How to Make It
Step
Light a grill. Generously brush the bread with olive oil and sprinkle each slice with 1 teaspoon of the zahtar. Season with salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper. Grill the bread over a medium-hot fire, turning once, until nicely browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Top with diced tomatoes and serve.
Notes
Zahtar is available at Middle Eastern markets and specialty food shops. You can order it by mail from Penzeys Spices (414-679-7207).
Suggested Pairing
These savory toasts need nothing more complicated than a glass of crisp white wine. Select a Washington State Chardonnay.
