Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Greek
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 whole wheat pitas
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 whole wheat pitas, 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, 2 tablespoons of honey, and fresh mint leaves for garnish.
- Preheat a skillet or a non-stick pan over medium heat. This will ensure that your pitas get warm and slightly crispy.
- Once the skillet is heated, place the whole wheat pitas in the pan. Toast them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are warmed through and have a light golden color.
- While the pitas are toasting, prepare the feta cheese. If it’s not already crumbled, crumble the feta into small pieces and set aside.
- After the pitas are done toasting, remove them from the skillet and place them on a serving plate. Allow them to cool for a minute.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over each pita, ensuring an even distribution. The warmth of the pita will help the honey spread slightly.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese generously over the honey-drizzled pitas. Make sure to cover the surface evenly for the best flavor.
- For a fresh touch, tear a few fresh mint leaves and scatter them over the top of the pitas. This will add a burst of flavor and a beautiful presentation.
- Serve the Honey and Feta Pitas immediately while they are warm. Enjoy this delightful Greek-inspired dish as a snack or light meal!
Tips
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh whole wheat pitas, authentic feta cheese, and pure honey for the best flavor.
- Toast pitas carefully: Watch your skillet temperature to achieve a golden color without burning. Medium heat is key.
- Serve immediately: These pitas are best enjoyed warm, when the honey is still slightly runny and the feta is just soft.
- Experiment with mint: If fresh mint isn't available, try dried mint or even a sprinkle of dried oregano for a different flavor profile.
- Make it a complete meal: Pair with a light Greek salad or serve alongside grilled vegetables for a more substantial dish.Pro tip: For an extra gourmet touch, drizzle a tiny bit of high-quality olive oil over the pitas just before serving!
