Author Note: This appetizer is based very loosely on a pastry I had once in Damascus. The za'tar (pronounced ZAA-ter) called for can be bought in Middle Eastern markets or you can mix up your own combining 1/2 cup dried thyme, 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, 2 teaspoons ground sumac, and a little salt. If using frozen puff pastry, defrost according to package instructions.
