It’s time for another awesome (4 ingredient) appetizer! Whenever I need a great recipe, I have a few “Go To People” and Debbie Hogan is one of those. Everyone knows Debbie is an excellent cook, and she is always trying new recipes! Here’s what you’ll need for this gorgeous Greek dip!
4 Layer Greek Dip
1 (8 oz.) container of cream cheese with chives and onions
1 (8 oz.) container of hummus (I use red pepper hummus for color)
1/2 cup of greek olive tapenade
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (plain or Mediterranean style)
Fill the bottom of a glass dish with a layer of the cream cheese. Next carefully spoon on a layer of the hummus then the olive tapenade. Finally add a layer of the crumbled feta. Serve with pita chips and fresh veggies.
Homemade Pita Chips
Store bought pita chips are really good, but it’s hard to beat homemade! The problem is trying to stop from eating the whole batch right out of the oven!
2 rounds of pita bread (pocket style vs. flat)
1/3 cup of olive oil
1 frozen cube or teaspoon of crushed garlic
1/2 teaspoon Italian herbs
Preheat oven to 275
Step 1. Combine oil, garlic and herbs in a small bowl.
Step 1. Using kitchen scissors cut each round in half then cut along the outer edges so that you end up with 4 semicircular pieces. You then cut each piece in half then half again until you have 32 wedges.
Step 3. Using a pastry brush cover both sides of each wedge with the oil mixture and lay them rough side down on a cookie sheet.
Step 4. Salt and pepper the top sides and bake for 4 min. Then turn each wedge over, salt and pepper again and bake for 4 more min.
Looking Back
Of all the Pickett’s Pearls (4 ingredient) recipes these Mediterranean Meatballs are definitely among the favorites! Made with zucchini, cumin and mint they have a very distinctive and delicious flavor!
Funny Saying
This saying has nothing to do with Greece or the Mediterranean, by the way. The other day Todd said “Roger that” then he immediately said who decided on the name Roger? Why not “Fred that” or “Jimmy that”? I love that I’m not the only one in our house now that notices the random things that “spill” out of our mouths.
