Step 1

Prepare the oven: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375°F.

Step 2

Oil the pita: Place the pita (or flatbread) on a sheet pan and brush the top with olive oil.

Step 3

Top the pita: Sprinkle on the mozzarella, za’atar, and red pepper flakes, if using. Spread the shallots, tomatoes, and grated egg on top. Season with a small pinch of kosher salt.

Step 4

Bake: Bake until the cheese has melted and the pita is slightly crispy, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Serve: Finish with a final sprinkle of za’atar if you’d like. Slice and eat it while it’s hot!
