Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2 flatbread crusts (homemade or storebought)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Toppings
- 1/2 cup spinach pesto
- 8 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup halved grape tomatoes
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 2.25 oz. can sliced black olives
- 1 cup quartered artichoke hearts
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Kosher salt, to taste
Garnish
- Fresh chopped parsley
- Fresh arugula leaves
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 500°F (260°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to crisp the flatbread and melt the cheese properly.
- Prepare crusts: Either make your own quick flatbread and par-bake it according to your recipe or use two store-bought flatbread crusts as the pizza base.
- Brush with olive oil: Lightly brush both flatbread crusts with olive oil to add moisture and help with browning during baking.
- Spread pesto: Evenly divide and spread 1/2 cup of spinach pesto across both crusts to form a flavorful base layer.
- Add cheese: Distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pesto-coated crusts.
- Layer toppings: Arrange the halved grape tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, sliced black olives, quartered artichoke hearts, crumbled feta, and sprinkle the dried oregano on top. Add a pinch of kosher salt to enhance the flavors.
- Bake: Place the flatbreads in the oven and bake for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the cheese has melted beautifully.
- Garnish and serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh chopped parsley and arugula leaves. Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh Greek Flatbread Pizza!
Notes
- You can substitute the spinach pesto with traditional basil pesto or even a garlic herb spread for a different flavor profile.
- Adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on top after baking can brighten the flavors.
- Try swapping mozzarella with a blend of mozzarella and provolone for a richer cheese taste.
- For a crispier crust, consider using a pizza stone preheated in the oven.
- Store any leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in a skillet or oven for best texture.
