Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pita bread
- 150 grams Goat cheese
- 2 large Yellow onions
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 cup Arugula (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Peel the yellow onions and slice them thinly into half-moons.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 25-30 minutes until they are soft, golden brown, and caramelized.
Add the balsamic vinegar, fresh thyme, salt, black pepper, and honey to the caramelized onions. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Brush both sides of the pita bread with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Grill each pita for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until they develop grill marks and are slightly crispy.
Spread a generous layer of goat cheese on each warm grilled pita.
Top the goat cheese with a spoonful of caramelized onions, spreading them evenly across the pita surface.
If desired, garnish with a small handful of fresh arugula for a peppery contrast.
Cut each pita into wedges and serve immediately while warm.
