Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 3 tbsp unsalted butter with 3 minced garlic cloves until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Place 2 large pita breads on a baking sheet. Brush each pita generously with the garlic butter mixture, covering edges for a soft crust.
  3. Step 3: Spread 1/2 cup tomato sauce evenly over each pita base, then sprinkle 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese and 1/4 cup halved kalamata olives on top.
  4. Step 4: Add 1/8 cup thinly sliced red onion, then season each pizza with 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/8 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
  5. Step 5: Drizzle 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil over each pizza and bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese softens and edges of pita are golden.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven and garnish with 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley per pizza. Slice and serve warm.
