Just like every morning, I started my day with two glasses of water on an empty stomach then had my cup of coffee (1 tsp of Nescafe, 3 tsp of fat free coffee mate, 2 tsp of sugar) followed by a medium sized pancake mankouche!

If you’re into fusion cuisine this is an outside the box pancake idea where you simply add to the main pancake mixture 2 tablespoon of zaatar (thyme) and half a teaspoon of olive oil and get a “Lebanized pancake” !!

Top it with a teaspoon of low fat labneh; decorate it with cherry tomatoes and cucumbers and enjoy the best breakfast ever 🙂
