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. You can read all about it in our guide: What Is Za'atar And How To Use It, and order our favorite Za’atar from our shop.
