Greek Pita Pizzas [Recipe]

When I saw this recipe on Annie’s Eats I knew I would love it. Not only was I right, but I have made it a bunch of times since first trying it. I always have the ingredients on hand and it’s a super quick meal. I love serving it alongside a big salad.

My kids haven’t quite warmed up to hummus on pizza yet and my husband likes it but not as much as me. So now when I make pizza pitas, I include a variety and a few Greek ones. I skipped the olives and chopped the tomatoes I had on hand (beefsteak). You have to try it!

Does anyone make something like this?

Happy Monday!

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp oil (more for brushing)
• 4, 8-inch whole-wheat pitas
• 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 tsp. fresh chopped oregano (or ½ tsp dried)
• ½ small red onion sliced thin
• ½ cup pitted kalamata olives, chopped (or sliced black olives)
• ¾ cup grape tomatoes, halved (or other chopped)
• ½ cup hummus
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup crumbled feta
• Tzatziki sauce (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 475˚F and brush both sides of the pita with a little olive oil. Arrange the pita on a baking sheet and bake 5 minutes or until lightly golden.
2. While the pitas are cooking, combine the vinegar with 2 Tbsp of oil and oregano and a bit of salt and pepper. Whisk to blend and add the onion, olives and tomatoes to the bowl and toss to coat with the dressing.
3. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the hummus over each pita and top with mozzarella. Layer each pita with a quarter of the vegetable mixture and top with the feta.
4. Bake until the cheese melts and the vegetables are soft about 6-8 minutes. Top with tzatziki sauce if desired.
