📋 Ingredients (Serves 2–4)

  • 2 naan or flatbreads
  • 1 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
  • 3 tbsp Greek yogurt (for creaminess)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (plus extra for brushing)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cucumber, diced
  • ¼ cup Kalamata olives, sliced
  • ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 small roasted red pepper, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste

🥄 Instructions

  1. Prepare whipped feta:
    • In a food processor, blend feta, Greek yogurt, and 1 tbsp olive oil until smooth and creamy.
  2. Crisp the flatbread:
    • Brush naan/flatbreads lightly with olive oil.
    • Toast in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 5–7 minutes until golden and slightly crisp.
  3. Assemble:
    • Spread a generous layer of whipped feta over each warm flatbread.
    • Top with tomatoes, cucumber, olives, onion, roasted pepper, and fresh herbs.
  4. Season & serve:
    • Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and an extra drizzle of olive oil.
    • Slice into wedges and serve immediately.

🍴 Notes

  • Can use pita or lavash instead of naan.
  • For extra creaminess, add a spoonful of cream cheese to the whipped feta.
  • Roasted red pepper adds sweetness, but you can swap with sun-dried tomatoes for tang.
  • Serve warm for best texture contrast.

💡 Tips

  • Make the whipped feta ahead—it keeps in the fridge up to 3 days.
  • Add grilled chicken, lamb, or shrimp on top for a protein boost.
  • Garnish with lemon zest or a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
  • For a spicier version, sprinkle with Aleppo pepper or chili flakes.
