# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Halve the 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes and slice the 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives. This initial prep sets the stage for your delicious Spinach Feta Flatbread Pizza: Quick Mediterranean Delight.
02 -
In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add the 5 oz fresh spinach and cook, stirring, until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and squeeze out any excess liquid.
03 -
In a small bowl, combine the 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (if using), 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. This aromatic base is key for your Spinach Feta Flatbread Pizza: Quick Mediterranean Delight.
04 -
Place the 2 pre-made flatbreads on a baking sheet. Brush each flatbread evenly with the aromatic oil mixture. Distribute the wilted spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced Kalamata olives over the flatbreads.
05 -
Sprinkle the 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese and 1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly over the toppings on both flatbreads. Ensure good coverage for a cheesy, flavorful Spinach Feta Flatbread Pizza: Quick Mediterranean Delight.
06 -
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking, as oven temperatures can vary.
07 -
Carefully remove the flatbreads from the oven. Garnish immediately with 1/2 tsp lemon zest and 2 tbsp fresh dill or parsley, chopped. Drizzle with 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil before slicing and serving warm.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra crispiness, pre-bake the flatbreads for 2-3 minutes before adding toppings. This helps prevent a soggy bottom.
02 -
No fresh spinach? Frozen chopped spinach (thawed and thoroughly squeezed dry) works well. You can also swap Kalamata olives for green olives or sun-dried tomatoes.
03 -
Serve these flatbreads with a simple side salad dressed with a lemon vinaigrette for a complete and light meal.
04 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or conventional oven for best results.
