Sun‑dried tomatoes and feta are staple ingredients in Greek and broader Mediterranean cooking, representing the region’s love of preserved vegetables and tangy cheeses. Combining them in a handheld pocket reflects modern, convenience‑focused twists on traditional mezze.

In Greece, feta is often baked in phyllo‑wrapped pastries such as tiropita or spanakopita. Some coastal regions also fold feta with olives and herbs inside puff pastry, similar to the pocket concept but baked rather than air‑fried.

It is usually served as a snack or part of a mezze platter, accompanied by olives, fresh herbs, and a drizzle of olive oil or honey, enjoyed with a glass of white wine or iced tea.

Feta‑based bites appear at family gatherings, Easter feasts, and casual weekend brunches, often paired with other small plates and fresh salads.

They pair nicely with a simple Greek salad, hummus, roasted red pepper dip, or a glass of crisp rosé or Sauvignon Blanc.

Common errors include over‑filling the tortilla, which causes leaks, not pre‑heating the air fryer, and using too low a temperature, resulting in a soggy pocket instead of a crisp one.

The air fryer circulates hot air quickly, giving the tortilla a uniform golden crispness in less time and with less oil than a traditional oven, which aligns with the quick "girl dinner" concept.

Yes, you can prepare the filling up to 4 hours ahead and keep it refrigerated. Assemble the pockets, cover, and refrigerate; air‑fry them just before serving for optimal texture.

The tortilla should be golden‑brown, crisp to the touch, and the edges lightly sealed. Inside, the feta should be soft and slightly melted, with visible specks of sun‑dried tomato and fresh basil.
