Spinach Feta Flatbread Pizza

Last Tuesday I stood in my kitchen at 7 PM, starving and staring at a wilted bag of spinach and some feta that needed using. Ten minutes later I was pulling the most incredible flatbread pizza from my oven, wondering why I overthink weeknight dinners so much.

My sister was over that night and we ended up making three more flatbreads, burning our fingers on hot cheese because we could not wait for them to cool. She texted me the next day asking for the recipe, which is basically her highest compliment.

Ingredients

• Flatbread: Naan or pita work beautifully here, they crisp up perfectly without getting too hard
• Olive oil: Creates that golden crust and helps the garlic flavor really penetrate the bread
• Garlic: Fresh minced is non negotiable, that raw punch mellows into something sweet and aromatic in the oven
• Baby spinach: Use the tender stuff, it wilts just enough while retaining some texture
• Mozzarella cheese: The melty glue that holds everything together with that classic pizza pull
• Feta cheese: Adds those salty creamy bursts that make every bite interesting
• Red onion: Thinly sliced it becomes sweet and mellow when baked
• Dried oregano: Brings that Mediterranean herbaceous note we all crave
• Freshly ground black pepper: Adds a little heat that cuts through the rich cheese

Instructions

Get your oven ready:

Preheat to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup

Prep the base:

Place your flatbreads on the baking sheet, ready to become something delicious

Make the garlic oil:

Mix the olive oil and minced garlic in a small bowl, then brush it generously over each flatbread

Layer the cheese:

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly across both flatbreads right to the edges

Add the fresh toppings:

Scatter the chopped spinach and red onion slices over the cheese

Finish with feta:

Crumble the feta on top and sprinkle with oregano and black pepper

Bake to perfection:

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the cheese bubbles and those flatbread edges turn golden brown

Serve hot:

Let them cool for just a minute before slicing and devouring immediately

This has become my go to when friends drop by unexpectedly because I always have these ingredients on hand. Last weekend my neighbor knocked on my door within minutes of me pulling these out, drawn by the smell of garlic and melting cheese.

Choosing the Right Flatbread

I have tried everything from homemade dough to store bought pizza crusts but nothing beats the convenience of naan or pita. They are already perfectly portioned and have that slight chew that stands up to the toppings without getting soggy.

Customizing Your Toppings

While the classic spinach and feta combo is hard to beat, do not be afraid to experiment. I have added artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes, and even leftover roasted vegetables when I needed to use them up.

Make Ahead Strategy

You can prep all your toppings ahead of time and keep them in separate containers in the fridge. When ready to bake, just assemble and pop in the oven.

• Mix the garlic oil up to 3 days in advance
• Chop vegetables and store in airtight containers
• Wait to assemble until you are ready to bake for the crispiest results

Something this simple and satisfying should not taste this good, but here we are. Enjoy every crispy, cheesy bite.
