Za'atar & Feta Swirl Garlic Flatbread ingredients

  • 2 pieces large naan bread or plain flatbread
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp za'atar spice blend
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 0.5 cup feta cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves

How to make Za'atar & Feta Swirl Garlic Flatbread

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a small bowl. Mince 2 cloves of garlic and stir them into the melted butter, along with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  3. Brush the garlic butter mixture evenly over one side of each of the 2 large naan breads or plain flatbreads. Place the flatbreads, buttered-side up, on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. In a separate small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of za'atar spice blend with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Stir well to form a thick paste.
  5. Using a small spoon or a piping bag, dollop small amounts of the za'atar paste over the garlic-buttered surface of each flatbread. Then, use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the za'atar paste into the garlic butter, creating an attractive pattern.
  6. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the edges of the flatbread are golden brown and slightly crispy, and the za'atar is fragrant. The exact time will depend on the thickness of your flatbread.
  7. While the flatbreads are still hot, crumble 1/2 cup of feta cheese evenly over both flatbreads. The residual heat will soften the feta slightly.
  8. Remove from the oven and transfer to a cutting board. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped mint leaves.
  9. Slice each flatbread into wedges or strips. Serve immediately as a warm appetizer or side dish.
