Mediterranean and Levantine flavors shine in this shareable dish, featuring a blend of feta, cream cheese, extra-virgin olive oil, white pepper plus lemon juice and grated zest. It’s topped with fresh produce and herbs while an accompanying drizzle of olive oil blended with mild chile crunch, pitted and chopped Medjool dates brings sweet heat. “These flavors are some of my favorites,” Matt McMillin says. It’s all carried by the Za’atar Crostini, made from La Brea Bakery®’s Large French Baguette, which is oiled and seasoned with za’atar before grilling.
