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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
