Description

This Middle Eastern-inspired pizza features za’atar, tomatoes, and feta cheese, all served with a refreshing garlic-mint sauce.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 wholewheat tortillas or thin crust pita
  • 1.5 tbsp za’atar spice blend
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 6 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 1.5 tbsp chopped mint
  • 2 tsp chopped garlic
  • 2 shallots, finely chopped
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mint-garlic sauce by blending the Greek yogurt, chopped mint, chopped garlic, lemon juice, and salt and pepper until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 C).
  3. Mix the extra-virgin olive oil and za’atar spice blend in a small bowl.
  4. Place the tortillas or pita on a baking sheet. Brush each with the za’atar and olive oil mixture.
  5. Top with diced tomato, finely chopped shallots, and crumbled feta cheese.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the cheese is slightly melted.
  7. Remove from the oven and drizzle with the prepared mint-garlic sauce before serving.

Notes

Za’atar is a versatile spice blend that can be used in various dishes. You can substitute Greek yogurt with regular yogurt for the sauce. This pizza can be served as an appetizer, brunch, or main course. Store any leftover sauce in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
