Ingredients
  

  • 4 Greek-style pitas (whole wheat if you like)
  • 1/2 cup hummus or pizza sauce (or a mix)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or provolone
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/3 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
  • 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup baby spinach or arugula
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)
  • Fresh parsley or basil, chopped (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven: Set to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup.
  2. Prep the pitas: Brush each pita lightly with olive oil. For extra crispiness, bake them plain for 3–4 minutes first.
  3. Add the base: Spread 1–2 tablespoons hummus or sauce on each pita. Hummus gives a creamy, garlicky base; sauce adds that classic pizza vibe. You can even do half-and-half.
  4. Layer the cheese: Sprinkle mozzarella evenly. Add feta on top for a salty, tangy kick.
  5. Top it off: Add tomatoes, olives, and red onion. Scatter spinach or arugula lightly so it wilts but doesn’t burn.
  6. Season: Dust with oregano, a pinch of salt and pepper, and crushed red pepper if you want heat.
  7. Bake: 6–8 minutes, until cheese melts and edges turn golden. If you like it extra crisp, broil for 1 minute at the end—watch closely.
  8. Finish and serve: Squeeze a little lemon over the top, drizzle with a touch more olive oil, and sprinkle parsley or basil. Slice and serve hot.
