Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 pieces lavash, each about 9 by 10 inches
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Put lavash on a baking sheet; brush each piece with 1 teaspoon oil, and generously season with pepper. Toast in oven until crisp and golden, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely on sheet before breaking into pieces to serve.

Tips:

  • For a more flavorful pita toast, use a high-quality olive oil. You can also add a drizzle of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice before serving.
  • If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use a teaspoon of dried herbs per recipe. Some good options include oregano, rosemary, and thyme.
  • Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking. Some other great options include sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and avocado.
  • If you're making the pita toast ahead of time, assemble the toasts but don't add the feta cheese until you're ready to serve. This will prevent the cheese from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Herbed pita toast with feta cheese is a quick and easy appetizer or snack that's perfect for any occasion. It's simple to make, customizable, and always a crowd-pleaser. So next time you're looking for something delicious and easy to serve, give this recipe a try.
