  1. Begin by preparing the labneh. Line a sieve with cheesecloth and place it over a bowl. Pour the goat’s yogurt into the cheesecloth and gather the edges to enclose the yogurt. Place a weight on top and refrigerate for 4-6 hours to drain and thicken.
  2. Once the labneh is ready, transfer it to a mixing bowl. Stir in the lemon zest, honey, thyme leaves, a pinch of sea salt, and a grind of black pepper until well combined. Set aside at room temperature.
  3. Preheat your grill or broiler. Brush the slices of bread with olive oil and grill until golden and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side.
  4. Spread a generous layer of the labneh mixture on each toasted bread slice to assemble.
  5. Top with the quartered figs, arranging them beautifully.
  6. Drizzle with additional honey and garnish with fresh thyme leaves.
  7. Finish with a light sprinkle of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors.
