Ingredients

Scale

Hot Honey Feta

  • 8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes

Olives

  • 1 cup mixed olives (Kalamata, green, or black)

Herb Pita Chips

  • 4 pita breads, cut into triangles
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Hot Honey Feta: In a small bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese with honey and chili flakes. Mix well to evenly distribute the honey and spice, then set aside to let the flavors meld.
  2. Season the Pita Triangles: Place the pita triangles in a mixing bowl and toss them with olive oil, chopped rosemary, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper ensuring each piece is coated with the herbs and oil.
  3. Bake the Pita Chips: Arrange the seasoned pita triangles in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes or until the chips are golden brown and crispy, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  4. Assemble the Appetizer Board: On a serving board, arrange the hot honey feta mixture, mixed olives, and freshly baked herb pita chips. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
  5. Serve: Present immediately while the pita chips are still crisp. Enjoy this flavorful appetizer as a perfect start to any meal or a delightful snack to share with friends and family.

Notes

  • You can adjust the chili flakes amount depending on your spice preference.
  • For gluten-free options, substitute pita bread with gluten-free crackers.
  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor, but dried can be substituted if necessary.
  • Serve immediately after baking to keep the pita chips crisp.
  • Leftover hot honey feta can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
