  • Swap Feta cheese for Cheddar cheese (1:1) — A firm salty cheese keeps the same role in the salad

Preparation

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, stir together za'atar seasoning and olive oil until an aromatic paste forms.

  2. 2

    Place pita breads in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat to warm lightly for 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Spread the olive oil and za'atar paste evenly over the top surface of each pita bread.

  4. 4

    Scatter crumbled feta cheese over the top and cover the pan with a lid for 3 to 4 minutes until cheese is warmed and base is crisp.

  5. 5

    Transfer to a board, top with sliced tomatoes and fresh mint leaves, slice into wedges, and serve hot.

Za'atar spice mix is widely sold in Middle Eastern grocers or spice markets.
