Sandwich Week continues!
Although, this sandwich seemed more like an appetizer than a sandwich to me. It was really tasty, but not very satisfying. Plus, I think if you sliced it into wedges, it’d make an awesome, crowd-pleasing appetizer for a get-together.

This Cheddar, Feta & Olive Pita was so easy to throw together. Just chop up some pitted olives (black or green).

Then, combine equal parts of crumbled feta and shredded extra sharp cheddar in a bowl. (I used about a cup of each.)

Next, add the chopped olives, a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, about a teaspoon of oregano, freshly ground pepper to taste, and mix it all together.

Then, stuff the mixture (as much or as little as you’d like) inside half of a pita and warm it in the toaster oven until the cheddar is melted.

Mmm… cheesy goodness!

I loved all of the bold flavors in this pita. My mouth was very happy!

I’m a big fan of this recipe, but the next time I make it, it’ll be an appetizer!

This looks amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Ohh yum!! This would make a great app, especially for a Mediterranean-themed dinner
i’d try that filling between whole wheat tortillas & then wedge them up quesadilla style. those seem VERY wine friendly & would make a great appetizer. I would need a really substantial salad alongside to call that a meal!
Nice flavor combo tho &so easy! thanks!
this looks great! love the combo of feta and olives and the seasoning would really take his over the top! YUM!
Mmm that looks absolutely delicious.
I’m really enjoying sandwich week
i can never get my pita pockets to pocket!
hope your feeling okay tina – have been following you on twitter! sounds scary?!?
Oh that pita sounds delicious! I can understand what you mean about it lacking staying power–I think it needs some more protein or a lot of more veggies!
I love olives and feta cheese so this is totally up my alley
That pita is begging for some spinach!
Looks delicious!! But yes, I agree..much more appertizerish. It doesnt look like it’d be a real filler-upper
that looks really tasty! yum!
The Murphy pics totally made me giggle! So cute! Just FYI . . . they have dog beds for pretty cheap at TJ Maxx/Home Goods . . . just in case you decide to try another bed for him!
That pita looks like a yummy snack! It would probably be really good in a flatbread pizza version, too!
Two types of cheese… I think I’m in love with you. I mean, this sandwich!
I LOVE whole wheat pitas and Feta. YUMM! Next time you should add some spinach for an extra punch
It does look tasty, but I looked at it and thought: “That’s it?” Not much to it as a meal … An appetizer? Definitely.
That looks really good – but you’re right, that definitely wouldn’t fill me up for dinner time!!
That post made my mouth water. Thank u
Looks delicious! Thanks for sharing!
This looks wonderful, thanks!
This looks so good and easy. Thanks for sharing!
Gah! Go you. I HATE olives, and wish I didn’t, because they are part of such taste combos like this!
Looks amazing! Feta is the reason I can’t fully give up dairy.. it’s too good!
I love the idea of melting feta with cheddar and olives inside a pita! I’ve definitely eaten my share of feta and olives when we eat at Greek restaurants, but never thought of melting the feta with another cheese and putting it in a pita! I’m definitely going to make this for a snack at home – I think I’d probably add some roasted red peppers into the mix too
Btw – thanks for being on the panel at the FoodBuzz conference. As a newer food blogger, it was really helpful to hear your perspective on everything! I’ll definitely be a regular reader from now on.
yum yum yum! Looks pretty darn good!
Yum, this would be my kind of pita
all that needs is a glass of pinot and i’d be all set! thanks for sharing!
This looks like it would make a good lunch.
Oh how I miss feta!! It’s probably the one cheese with no dairy-free, gluten free alternative. Life is just not as complete without the ol’ guy
That does sound a bit more like an appetizer..I would probably bulk it up with some spinach and cucumbers
This would be so tasty, but you’re right, this is more like a snack! I need lots of bulk and protein in my sandwiches in order for them to hold me over!
Looks delicious! Seems like it would be filling – protein, fat & carbs… guess you never know until you eat it. Loving the sandwich posts!
Yummy flavors! I would add roasted eggplant and roasted peppers to bulk it up. Maybe some mushrooms too.
You should try finding Za’atar at your local spice store. It’s a middle eastern spice blend that we put on everything in Israel. it goes especially well feta.
That sandwich looks amazing. Black olives and cheese are my two favorite things! I am totally making that sandwich this weekend,
I LOVE FETA! One of my favorite cheese. What a great idea for a quick lunch.
mmm that sounds good….I’d probably add some spinach and chicken to that or something to make it more filling
