Ingredients
- 1 large whole wheat pita bread or 2 medium pitas (or your favorite flatbread)
- extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated mozzarella, more to your liking
- 1 teaspoon za’atar, more to your liking
- Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 shallot, thinly sliced into rounds
- 1 Roma tomato or a handful of cherry tomatoes, sliced
- 2 hard boiled eggs, peeled and grated or chopped
- kosher salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375°F.
- Oil the pita: Place the pita (or flatbread) on a sheet pan and brush the top with olive oil.
- Top the pita: Sprinkle on the mozzarella, za’atar, and red pepper flakes, if using. Spread the shallots, tomatoes, and grated egg on top. Season with a small pinch of kosher salt.
- Bake: Bake until the cheese has melted and the pita is slightly crispy, about 5 minutes.
- Serve: Finish with a final sprinkle of za’atar if you’d like. Slice and eat it while it’s hot!
Notes
- Because the eggs are grated, they should be fully cooked through but not dry. See our favorite method in our guide on
- How To Boil Eggs
- . If you don't have a cheese grater to grate the eggs just roughly chop them with a knife.
- Use a low moisture whole milk mozzarella for the best flavor. A milky, creamy mozzarella is great in something like
- caprese salad
- , but tends to get soggy as it melts.
- Za’atar is an aromatic spice blend made from herbs, sesame seeds, and
- sumac
