In reply to Sharon Wooden. My favorites are: sweet paprika, za'atar (a mix of oregano and sesame seeds), toasted black and/or white sesame, and fresh chives!

Hi Ksenia,
I would like to try this recipe but have no idea what spices I should use. I've never seen these or tasted them. Can you suggest some spices that I might use please.
Thank you so much for your very interesting blog! I am really enjoying it!!
Sharon

In reply to Berta. I know what you mean... Happily, after a few years in the Middle East, my parents abandoned shuba and holodetz in favour of cheese boards and chopped salad for breakfast. The grandparents were a tougher sell... But we're working on them! And with these labaneh balls, it shouldn't be hard to convince your family to give lighter dishes a try ;)

I need to make these ASAP! My mum was recently thinking about how to make the dinners for special occasions at our house a little lighter and healthier, because, at least from my experience, being from Soviet Union means that the salads are loaded with mayonnaise and the desserts are rich. Of course I said that will happily help her come up with recipes and I can't wait to impress her with these 🙂

In reply to Katie @ Whole Nourishment. Katie, you are welcome ANYTIME. Seriously. And you should definitely give the labaneh balls a try - they're one of the easiest impressive appetizers to throw together (and everyone loves homemade cheese).

I would be over at your house in a heartbeat for this breakfast spread. I have never made labaneh balls but they look seriously good with the spices. And what a fun and unique collaboration for the ultimate Middle Eastern breakfast. I'll be taking some cues from you two for my next weekend brunch!
