Ingredients

6 flatbreads
200g pack of feta cheese
20g package flat-leaf parsley or mint, leaves coarsely chopped
Raw vegetable food
Hummus, tzatziki and other popular dips for serving

Preparation steps

Toast the pittas in a toaster until just barely cooked through – puffed up but not yet crispy – then let cool for a few minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mash the feta with a fork.
Stir in herbs and plenty of black pepper.
Cut a slit along one edge of each pitta, then add the feta.
Spread the feta on the inside of the bread using the back of a spoon or a cutlery knife.
The prepared pittas can be refrigerated and covered up to a day in advance.
To serve, toast the pittas again in the toaster, cut side up, until the bread is just crispy.
Let the pittas cool for 2 minutes before cutting them into wedges.
The crispy feta bites are best eaten within 30 minutes of toasting.

Pitta bread

Pitta bread serves as a crunchy base for these snacks. Made from whole wheat, flatbread is a great source of fiber, which aids digestion and helps maintain a healthy weight. They also provide important nutrients such as B vitamins, iron and magnesium.

Feta cheese

With its tangy flavor and crumbly texture, feta cheese not only adds delicious flavor to snacks but also offers several health benefits. Feta cheese is rich in calcium, which is important for strong bones and teeth. It also contains high-quality protein necessary for tissue repair and muscle growth.

Flat leaf parsley or mint

Adding flat-leaf parsley or mint to this recipe not only improves the flavor but also provides valuable health benefits. Both herbs are rich in vitamins A, C and K, which support immune function and contribute to collagen production for healthy skin. They also act as a natural breath freshener and aid digestion.

Raw vegetable food

Serving the crispy feta bites with raw vegetables adds a vibrant and nutritious touch. Vegetables such as carrot sticks, cucumber slices and pepper strips are low in calories and rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals. They provide antioxidants that protect the body from cell damage and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

Houmous, tzatziki and other favorite dips

Completing the serving options, crispy feta bites, houmous, tzatziki and other popular dips not only provide an explosion of flavor but also provide some nutritional value. Houmous is made primarily from chickpeas and is a good source of plant-based protein and fiber. Tzatziki, on the other hand, contains Greek yogurt, which is rich in probiotics that promote gut health.

By incorporating these dips into your meal, you will also receive an extra dose of vitamins and minerals depending on the ingredients used in the dips.
