Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place pita rounds on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil.
- Sprinkle with dried oregano, coarse salt, and pepper.
- Bake until crispy and lightly golden, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and break pitas in half.

Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like parsley or thyme to the olive oil before brushing it on the pita. If you don't have feta, goat cheese or ricotta can serve as good substitutes. To enhance the toasts, sprinkle some chili flakes for a bit of heat or serve alongside a dip like Roasted Garlic And Almond Dip for a Mediterranean twist.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the herbed pita toasts with a side of Hummos(Low-Fat - Tahini-Free) or a refreshing Romaine Lettuce Salad to balance the richness of the feta. These toasts also make a great appetizer for gatherings, paired with olives and other Mediterranean recipes for a delightful spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover pita toasts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes until crispy again. Avoid microwaving as it may make them chewy rather than crispy.
