📋 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.

🍽️ Servings
