Step-by-step instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C / 400°F.
Lay the flatbreads on a baking tray and lightly brush with olive oil.
Warm in the oven for 6–8 minutes until they are slightly crisp and heated through.
In a food processor, blend together the feta, Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, and black pepper until you achieve a smooth and fluffy texture. If needed, adjust the texture with a splash of water.
If your peppers aren’t pre-roasted, toss the sliced peppers in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and roast them in the oven for 12–15 minutes until they’re soft and lightly charred.
Generously spread the whipped feta over the warm flatbreads.
Top the whipped feta with the roasted red peppers.
Drizzle the chili crunch oil evenly across the flatbread. If you like a hint of sweetness, add a touch of honey.
Finish with fresh herbs, a sprinkle of nuts, or lemon zest if desired.
Slice and serve immediately!
Best ways to enjoy it
Plating can take your Mediterranean flatbread to the next level. Serve it on a beautiful wooden board or with a colorful side salad to bring out the freshness of the ingredients. Pair it with a light white wine or a refreshing mint lemonade. For a complete meal, consider adding some grilled chicken or chickpeas for extra protein.
Storage and reheating tips
Leftovers can be a real treat if stored properly! Keep any uneaten flatbread in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. For the best reheating experience, pop them back in the oven or toaster for a few minutes to recapture their crispiness. Alternatively, you can freeze the flatbread before assembling—just remember to thaw it and bake it fresh when you’re ready to enjoy that delightful taste again!
Helpful cooking tips
For a smoother whipped feta, make sure to allow your feta to reach room temperature before blending. This will help achieve that creamy texture. If you prefer a spicier kick, you can mix in a bit of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the feta blend. Don’t skimp on the herbs—they add a wonderfully fresh touch!
Creative twists
Want to switch things up? Try adding different toppings like olives, artichokes, or even grilled zucchini for a Mediterranean flair. For a spicy version, add jalapeños or sriracha to the whipped feta. For a healthier twist, swap the flatbread for a cauliflower base or a whole grain option!
