INGREDIENTS 

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed 

1 egg, beaten 

4oz feta cheese

1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

2tbsps EVOO plus more for serving 

1 clove of garlic

1 small onion (I prefer to caramelize the onion in advance)

2-3 heirloom tomatoes- sliced 1/4'' thick 

Flaky salt, to taste

Black pepper, to taste

Crushed red chili flakes, to taste

2tsps capers, rinsed 

 

 

INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1

Preheat oven to 425F; place one sheet of puff pastry onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a rolling pin to smooth out creases if necessary. Score a 1'' border around the edge of the sheet using a knife- DO NOT CUT ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE PASTRY. Then, using a fork, prick holes over the center within the scored border. Brush the entire sheet of pastry with an egg wash.

 

STEP 2

Place the puff pastry in the oven to back for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, add feta, Greek yogurt, olive oil, and garlic in a blender and blend until smooth and aerated. Transfer to a bowl.

 

STEP 3

Once the pastry has finished baking, use a spoon to press the centre of the pastry down to create a recessed area, making sure to leave the 1'' border untouched. 

 

STEP 4

Spread over the whipped feta, top with caramelized onions, and follow with the slices of tomatoes on top. Season the tomatoes with a generous sprinkle of flaky salt, fresh cracked black pepper, and chili flakes. Finish with the capers, dill and a drizzle of EVOO.
