Can we chat for a second?
The topic: Instant Pot
The other day we were reading a friend’s post and she mentioned that she finally got an Instant Pot and well, was unimpressed. And before you shank us, we want you to know that we understand the lure of an Instant Pot. Making meals in a short amount of time – hello, beef brisket in 30 minutes.
However, we agree with her. The reason why we agree is because it’s not intuitive. We actually purchased an Instant Pot a year ago and have only used it twice. TWICE! Between all the settings, sauteing, steaming, and the darn pressure value release, we are lost. We feel like you can do all the same steps with less fuss in a slow cooker. Am we crazy?
You guys are smart. Tell us if we have just done lost our mind and we need to get back into the kitchen and use the damn thing. We're asking for a friend. Also, if this is the point where you guys tell us we need to supply y’all with more Instant Pot recipes…we may need to chat. Or just have you in our kitchen guiding through how to use the darn thing!! We dunno.
Okay, until we figure out the Instant Pot situation, we have the easiest, tastiest recipe for y’all today: Simple Za’atar Croissants with Labneh. We are currently trying to get our Jordan recap finished and while we were sorting through photos, we noticed we took a lot of photos of za’atar croissant rolls. Oh, they were spicy, buttery heaven.
Anyway, we thought we would whip some up for you guys to have in your arsenal because they were our life while overseas. You can certainly make your own kitchen-made croissant rolls, but these are store bought. Don’t judge. We were thinking of time and the fact that we don’t bake.
You know the drill. Roll these babies out, brush the tops with egg wash, sprinkle Za’atar seasoning on top, and bake. Once golden brown remove them from the oven and spread some labneh on top while still warm. So, so, so, tasty!!
We wonder if you can make croissant rolls in an Instant Pot? Don’t answer that.
In conclusion, our Simple Za’atar Croissants with Labneh offer a delightful fusion of Mediterranean flavors in a simple, satisfying treat that can be enjoyed any time of day. Savor the savory harmony of tastes!
