Grill the Pita:
Begin by heating a griddle pan over medium heat. Lightly drizzle some extra virgin olive oil on the pan. Place the mini pita breads on the pan and grill them until golden brown on both sides. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side. Once done, remove them from the pan and set them aside. -
Prepare the Tomatoes:
While the pitas are grilling, take your quartered tomatoes and place them in a small mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt, freshly ground black pepper (or crushed black peppercorns), dried thyme, and a splash of olive oil. Toss them well to coat, then set the mixture aside to allow the flavors to meld. -
Crumble the Feta Cheese:
In another small bowl, crumble the feta cheese and drizzle a little olive oil over it. Add the remaining dried thyme and a pinch of salt. Toss the cheese mixture gently, and set it aside. -
Assemble the Pizza:
Now that your components are ready, itβs time to assemble the pita pizzas. Take each grilled pita and spread a generous layer of homemade hummus over the top, ensuring itβs evenly coated. Sprinkle a pinch of red chili powder over the hummus for a slight kick (optional). -
Top with Tomatoes & Feta:
Add the seasoned, tossed tomatoes on top of the hummus. Follow this by adding the crumbled feta cheese, ensuring an even distribution across the pita. -
Add Olives & Garnish:
Slice the black olives and scatter them over the pizza for a burst of flavor. Finally, garnish with fresh coriander (dhania) leaves for a fresh, herbaceous touch. -
Serve & Enjoy:
Serve the Greek Style Grilled Pita Pizza as a delightful appetizer at your next gathering or party. It pairs wonderfully with a sparkling strawberry mocktail for a refreshing touch or enjoy it with a cup of Masala Tea or Espresso Coffee for a cozy snack.
Tip: You can experiment with toppings such as roasted red peppers, zucchini, or even a drizzle of balsamic glaze to add even more Greek-inspired flavors to this pizza!
