Author Notes: These toasts are fresh, crunchy, and smooth with the labne. I just love the combo. Plus, they look so pretty. —Virginie Degryse
Food52 Review: I couldn’t find labne in the store so ended up getting my labne from a restaurant. Not sure if this would affect the taste, but my labne seemed to have some garlic in it. That being said, this was delicious. I had 3 of them, even though I was full. I loved the herb addition to the labne (which, I imagine, would taste even better the next day. I wouldn’t know, I ate it all). I especially loved the fact that she threw the chopped basil on top. That really let the basil come through as a high note. Loved the multigrain bread. Tried it with some pita and it just wasn’t the same. The pine nuts and microgreens added not just taste notes, but texture notes, too. This was crispy, cheesy, yummy goodness. —Dawne Marie
