Hobz Biz Zejt - Maltese Open-face Sandwich image

The idea comes from a Maltese ex-pat's blog. Part of what makes this sandwich so special is Hobz, authentic Maltese bread. But since it is a kind of sourdough bread, that will have to do in North America and maybe other places, too. Explore your local bakeries and see what kind of hearty bread with large holes and a crisp crust...
