Description
This Spinach and Feta Pita Bake is a quick and flavorful vegetarian dish featuring warm pita bread filled with a savory mixture of spinach, feta cheese, and seasonings, then baked until golden and delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
- 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 4 pita bread rounds, cut in half
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Add the thawed spinach and cook until any excess moisture has evaporated, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the crumbled feta cheese and nutmeg. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Spoon the spinach mixture into the pita halves and place them on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until heated through and slightly crispy on the edges.
Notes
- You can use fresh spinach instead of frozen; just cook it down first and drain excess liquid.
- Serve with a side of tzatziki or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
- These can be made ahead and reheated in the oven for a quick lunch or snack.
