Description

A delicious flatbread topped with creamy whipped feta, sweet grilled corn, spicy hot honey, and crispy garlic. Perfect for summer entertaining.


Ingredients

Scale
  • For the crispy garlic:
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • For the whipped feta:
  • 8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • For the flatbread:
  • 4 pieces naan or flatbread
  • 2 ears corn, husked
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For serving:
  • Hot honey (store-bought or homemade)
  • Fresh basil or arugula (optional)
  • Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the crispy garlic: In a small skillet, heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Add sliced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until golden and crispy (about 2-3 minutes). Remove garlic with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Reserve the garlic oil for later use.
  2. Make the whipped feta: In a food processor, combine crumbled feta, cream cheese, yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, and pepper. Process until very smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed. Set aside.
  3. Grill the corn: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush corn with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill corn, turning occasionally, until charred in spots (about 8-10 minutes). Let cool slightly, then cut kernels off the cob.
  4. Toast the flatbread: Brush flatbread with some of the reserved garlic oil. Grill or toast in a skillet until lightly charred and warm (about 1-2 minutes per side).
  5. Assemble: Spread each flatbread with a generous layer of whipped feta. Top with grilled corn kernels, crispy garlic, and drizzle with hot honey. Garnish with fresh basil or arugula and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

To make homemade hot honey, combine 1/2 cup honey with 1-2 teaspoons red pepper flakes and heat gently. Let steep for 10 minutes, then strain. The crispy garlic can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
