Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb store-bought pizza dough or flatbread dough
- 6 oz (about 1 ½ cups) crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus more for cooking
- 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
- Zest of ½ lemon (optional)
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- If using store-bought dough, let it come to room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, chopped fresh mint, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic (if using), lemon zest (if using), and black pepper. Mix well to form the filling.
- Divide the dough into 5 equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion into a circle approximately 6-7 inches in diameter.
- Place an equal amount of the feta-mint filling in the center of each dough circle, leaving about a 1-inch border.
- Gather the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching them together tightly at the top to seal and form a ball. Gently flatten the ball into a disc, being careful not to let the filling burst through.
- Heat a large skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil (or enough to lightly coat the bottom).
- Cook one or two flatbreads at a time, depending on the size of your pan, for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining flatbreads, adding more oil as needed.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Serve these flatbreads warm with a side of creamy tzatziki sauce, a simple cucumber and tomato salad, or a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for an authentic Mediterranean experience.
