👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat Oven

Evenly spread sundried tomatoes over the crust.

Scatter sliced onions and crumbled feta on top.

Sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

4️⃣ Bake

Place pizza in preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and feta is slightly golden.

Top with fresh arugula just before serving.

Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and optional balsamic glaze.

Slice and enjoy immediately.

🌟 Tips for Best Results

Use thin crust for a light, Mediterranean-style pizza.

Oil-packed sundried tomatoes give richer flavor than dry ones.

Add walnuts or pine nuts on top for crunch if desired.

Bake on a pizza stone for extra crispiness.
