Ingredients

• Flatbread – Serves as the perfect base for a crispy texture.

• Eggs (3-4 pcs.) – Rich in protein and essential for binding all the ingredients.

• Spinach – Adds a boost of iron, fiber, and antioxidants.

• Mozzarella – Creamy and melty, perfect for adding a luscious texture.

• Cherry Tomatoes – Juicy and slightly sweet, balancing the saltiness of the cheese.

• Feta Cheese – Adds a tangy, salty flavor that pairs beautifully with the other ingredients.

• Salt & Pepper – To season and enhance all the flavors.

Directions

• Preheat and Prep: First, heat your oven to 180°C (355°F). Then, lightly grease your baking dish with olive oil or a non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
• Layer the Flatbread: Place two layers of flatbread in the baking dish. This will give the flatbread a more substantial, crispy base.
• Add the Spinach: Distribute fresh spinach evenly over the flatbread. Spinach adds a vibrant green color and a mild, earthy flavor that balances the cheeses.
• Sprinkle Mozzarella and Feta: Add shredded mozzarella for a creamy melt and crumbled feta for a sharp, tangy bite. These two cheeses create a lovely balance of flavors and textures.
• Add Cherry Tomatoes: Slice cherry tomatoes in half and scatter them on top. They add a burst of color and sweetness that cuts through the richness of the cheese.
• Pour the Eggs: Crack 3-4 eggs over the top. You can leave them whole or whisk them lightly for a more cohesive bake—season with salt and pepper.
• Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Equipment Needed

• Baking dish – Preferably a medium-size dish that can fit the layered flatbread.
• Grease brush or oil sprayer – This is used to coat the baking dish.
• Whisk or fork – To lightly whisk the eggs if desired.
• Oven – Preheated to 180°C (355°F).

Serving Suggestions

This Mediterranean flatbread bake is delightful on its own, but here are some pairings that elevate it even more:

• Side Salad: For a refreshing side, serve a crisp Greek salad with cucumbers, olives, and a lemon vinaigrette.
• Soup: Pair with a light tomato basil or minestrone for a heartier meal.
• Drink Pairings: This dish goes wonderfully with a light white wine, like a Sauvignon Blanc. For a non-alcoholic option, try sparkling water with a splash of lemon.

Recipe Variations and Tips

• Add Protein: For more protein, add cooked chicken, turkey slices, or chickpeas.
• Spicy Twist: Sprinkle red pepper flakes or add a few jalapeño slices for a spicy kick.
• Herb Infusion: Add fresh basil, oregano, or thyme for a more herbaceous flavor.
• Keto-Friendly Option: Replace flatbread with a low-carb tortilla or cauliflower crust.

Storage and Reheating Tips

This Mediterranean flatbread bake can be stored easily for later enjoyment:

• Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Freezing: While fresh is best, you can freeze portions in freezer-safe containers for up to 1 month.
• Reheating: Warm leftovers in the oven at 180°C (355°F) for 5-10 minutes. Avoid microwaving, as it may make the flatbread soggy.

FAQ Section

1. Can I make this recipe vegan?
Yes, you can! Use a vegan mozzarella and feta substitute, and replace the eggs with a flaxseed egg mixture or a vegan egg product.

2. Can I use other greens instead of spinach?
Absolutely. Kale, arugula, or Swiss chard are substitutes and bring unique flavors.

3. What type of flatbread works best?
For a crispy texture, use thinner flatbreads like pita or lavash. Thicker flatbreads will yield a softer base.

4. How can I make this dish gluten-free?
Simply substitute the flatbread with a gluten-free flatbread or a cauliflower crust.
