Cuisine: Greek
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 flatbreads
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup olives, sliced
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the olives and red onion, and crumble the feta cheese if it isn’t already crumbled.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re using a gas grill, allow it to heat for about 10 minutes. For charcoal grills, ensure the coals are glowing and covered with ash.
- Brush one side of each flatbread with olive oil. This will help achieve a nice, crispy texture when grilled.
- Once the grill is hot, place the flatbreads directly on the grill grates, oil side down. Grill for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and has nice grill marks.
- While the flatbreads are grilling, prepare the toppings. In a bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced olives, and thinly sliced red onion. Add oregano, salt, and pepper to taste, mixing gently to combine.
- After 3-4 minutes, carefully flip the flatbreads using tongs. On the grilled side, evenly distribute the feta and vegetable mixture over each flatbread.
- Close the grill lid and continue to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is slightly melted and the toppings are heated through. Keep an eye on the flatbreads to prevent burning.
- Once cooked, remove the flatbreads from the grill and let them cool for a minute. Optionally, you can drizzle a bit more olive oil on top for added flavor.
- Slice the grilled flatbread Greek pizzas into quarters and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious creation with a fresh salad or your favorite dipping sauce!
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Ensure your grill is at the right medium-high heat before cooking. A properly heated grill prevents soggy bread and creates those coveted crispy grill marks.
- Olive Oil Magic: Don't skimp on brushing the flatbread with olive oil. This simple step ensures a golden, crispy texture and adds an extra layer of flavor.
- Watch Carefully: Grilling times can vary depending on your grill, so keep a close eye on the flatbreads to prevent burning. The goal is golden brown, not charcoal black!
- Prep Ingredients in Advance: Have all your toppings chopped and ready before you start grilling. This makes the cooking process smooth and prevents any last-minute scrambling.
- Customize Your Creation: Feel free to experiment with additional toppings like grilled chicken, fresh herbs, or a drizzle of tzatziki sauce to make this recipe your own.
- Serve Immediately: These flatbread pizzas are best enjoyed hot off the grill when the cheese is melty and the bread is crisp. Timing is everything!
