Ingredients
Scale
Flatbreads
- 4 flatbreads (store-bought or homemade)
Toppings
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup spinach leaves
- 1 cup arugula
- 1/2 cup sliced red onion
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
Dressing
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Garnish
- Balsamic glaze for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare it for baking the flatbreads.
- Prepare Flatbreads: Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they lay flat and evenly spaced.
- Mix Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper creating a fresh zesty dressing to brush over the flatbreads.
- Add Toppings: Lightly brush each flatbread with the oil and lemon mixture. Then evenly distribute the fresh spinach, arugula, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onion over the flatbreads.
- Add Feta Cheese: Generously sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese across the vegetables on each flatbread to add a creamy, tangy flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the edges of the flatbreads turn golden brown and crispy.
- Garnish: Remove the baked flatbreads from the oven, sprinkle freshly chopped basil over the top, and drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired for a touch of sweetness.
- Slice and Serve: Cut the flatbreads into wedges and serve warm, enjoying the delightful combination of fresh spring flavors.
Notes
- You can use either store-bought or homemade flatbreads depending on your preference and convenience.
- Adjust the amount of salt and pepper in the dressing according to your taste.
- Balsamic glaze is optional but adds a wonderful sweet contrast to the tangy feta and fresh vegetables.
- For a vegan version, substitute feta cheese with a plant-based alternative.
- These flatbreads are best enjoyed fresh and warm right after baking.
