- 6 oz feta
- 2 oz cream cheese
- Juice of half a lemon
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 tsp dried oregano

- Salt and pepper
- Honey (optional)
For the Caramelized Onions
- 1 red pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp of olive oil
For the Tzatziki
- 1 individual container of Greek yogurt (5.3 oz)
- 1 garlic clove, peeled, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
- Juice of ½ a lemon
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1-2 tsp honey
- Salt and pepper
For the Toppings
- 1 can of artichoke hearts
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- ½ cup cucumber, diced
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees with either a pizza stone or sheet tray inside of it to get hot.
Peel and slice the onions into thin rounds. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add the onions with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add in the red pepper that has been cut into thin slices. Cook until caramelized and brown, stirring often, for about 20 minutes. Start the heat on high until the vegetables start to soften. Alternate between the lid on and off. And turn the heat to medium. If the vegetables start to burn, turn the heat down. Season with salt and pepper.
For the whipped feta cheese, add all the ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth taste for seasoning.
Next, prepare your dough.
Roll out one ball of the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12 inch round circle (or rectangle, sometimes the dough has a mind of its own).
Remove the sheet tray from the oven and drizzle with a little olive oil. Carefully place the dough on the hot tray. Evenly spread the cheese mix on the dough. Top with the caramelized onions mix, canned artichokes and cherry tomatoes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is lightly brown (this will depend greatly on the thickness and shape of your pizza so be sure to check it periodically).
While the pizza is baking, prepare the tzatziki sauce. Add all the ingredients into a blender until smooth. Taste for seasoning and drizzle on top of the warm pizza. Enjoy!
