Labneh with baked tomatoes, olives and bread chips

Australian chef Glen Ballis, who has opened a dozen good restaurants in Moscow, is considered a master of textural contrasts. As proof, here is his recipe from Avocado Queen: homemade Middle Eastern cheese made from thick unleavened yoghurt is served with baked vegetable puree, olives and cherry tomatoes. And so that this delicate dish does not seem monotonous, a crispy slice of bread sticks out playfully on top. Middle Eastern labneh cheese can be replaced with soft goat cheese, cottage cheese mousse or even thick sour cream - the sum of textures on the plate will not change from this.
