Claire Saffitz Makes Feta-Za'atar Flatbread #shorts | Dessert Person
These soft-on-the-inside and crispy-and-charred-on-the-outside flatbreads have a secret ingredient: cooked potato. It keeps them pillowy and flexible and ideal for stuffing with feta cheese and slathering in zaatar oil. But if you take away nothing else, let it be the delicious eggplant dip that accompanies these flatbreads, which is easy and simple and can be your go-to late summer side dish.

Tip to the eggplant sauce: add tahini to it!! This sauce is originally called mutabbal

[bargainghost]

Lebanese here. Would have never thought to mix in potato or labne with eggplant, but it sounds yummy!

This is 100% the sleeper hit of the whole book. The flatbread is so amazing soft and delicious, the za'atar spice blend is one of my favorite things that Dessert Person has introduced to me, and the Eggplant Dip, so savoury and tart, so delicious

I can't believe someone has not scooped this lady up yet for her own show. Her smile is contagious and when she is having trouble, her uncomfortable smile is so awesome.

[a.a.s.]

Just made it yesterday for the second time. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without Claire. Genius.

[jenniferyamin]

the way she pronounced labne took me aback not gonna lie

[thedrizzle]

Claire is SO PRETTY it's ridiculous.

Haven't attempted this one yet! I'm taking these shorts as a sign to finally take the plunge and make some of these recipes. Love feta cheese.

[emmaphillips]

Made these with a side of tabbouleh it was amazing!

[maetamonxg]

wow that Eggplant dip is something super similar to a dish we have very commonly in Maharashtra, India! It's called "Bhareet" [bh-uh-reet (soft t sound)]

[ColeyBolee]

Would love to see the whole recipe. Please don’t turn into a channel of all shorts just for views. I love watching your full length videos and hearing all the stories that go along with that. 💖

[idanarli]

Hi Claire! Thank you so much for this recipe :) Do you think sometime you could do a tutorial of chocolate mousse? I've tried it with whipped cream and egg whites or one time with only whipped cream or only egg whites but I don't love the consistency. Thank you!!

[masalaonthemove]

Love you Claire😍 I still thank Emma for introducing me to this channel 😅
