The wrap is made using an 11-inch piece of flatbread made in-house using traditional Lebanese methods. Once the flatbread is baked, it is slathered in zaatar, a powdery blend of ground oregano, thyme, marjoram and spices. A handsome amount of [creamy akkawi cheese](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/belle-chevre-greek-kiss) is then inserted into the wrap, which is topped by cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, mint and olives before being rolled up. This zaatar and jibneh wrap is a Lebanese breakfast classic, and offers a beautiful blend of fragrant herbs, milky cheese and fresh flatbread that will put a smile on your face. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Lebanese Breakfast:** Opportunity for restaurants and food entrepreneurs to introduce Lebanese breakfast items to a wider audience. - **Traditional Lebanese Methods:** Innovative opportunities for food businesses to incorporate traditional Lebanese cooking techniques into their menus. - **Zaatar Spice Blend:** Potential for spice companies to explore the popularity of zaatar and create new blends or variations for consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Restaurants:** Restaurants can capitalize on the growing demand for international breakfast options by offering Lebanese breakfast items. - **Food Entrepreneurs:** Food entrepreneurs can create new products or start unique businesses that focus on traditional Lebanese cooking methods and flavors. - **Spice Companies:** Spice companies have the opportunity to develop and promote new zaatar spice blends to cater to the rising trend of Lebanese cuisine. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cheesy Macaroni Breakfast Wraps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crispy-mac-n-cheesy-wrap.md) - [Breakfast-Ready Doner Wraps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-breakfast-wrap.md) - [Middle Eastern Cuisine-Inspired Wraps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/subway-wraps.md) - [Griddled Za’atar Flatbreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/griddled-zaatar.md) - [Vegetarian Mediterranean Wraps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greek-halloumi-wrap.md) - [Regionally Inspired Cream Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zaatar-cream-cheese.md) - [Individually Sliced Shawarma Wraps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wrap-bites.md) - [Protein-Packed Egg Wraps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egglife-foods-1.md) - [Convenient QSR Breakfast Wraps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-king-breakfast-wraps.md)
