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
- Balsamic glaze for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the flatbreads.
- Prepare the Flatbreads: Arrange the flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a light, tangy dressing.
- Apply Dressing and Add Veggies: Brush each flatbread lightly with the olive oil and lemon mixture. Then evenly spread spinach, arugula, cherry tomatoes, and red onion over the flatbreads.
- Add Feta Cheese: Generously sprinkle crumbled feta cheese across the flatbreads to add a creamy and tangy flavor layer.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until the edges of the flatbreads turn golden brown and crispy.
- Garnish: Remove the flatbreads from the oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh basil, and drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired for added sweetness and depth.
- Slice and Serve: Cut the flatbreads into wedges and serve warm to enjoy the full burst of spring flavors.
Notes
- Use fresh vegetables and herbs for the best flavor and texture.
- If you prefer a crispier crust, bake a few minutes longer but watch closely to prevent burning.
- Balsamic glaze is optional but adds a lovely sweet-acid balance to the flatbreads.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
- Flatbreads can be made ahead and assembled just before baking to save time.
