Ingredient Notes
1 cup plain Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein. You can substitute with dairy-free yogurt if needed. 2 tablespoons of your favorite pesto provides robust flavor—store-bought or homemade works well. 1 pound cherry tomatoes adds freshness; feel free to use regular tomatoes if preferred. Lastly, 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese adds a salty kick; substitute with goat cheese for a different flavor.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Step 1: In a bowl, layer half of the Greek yogurt, creating a smooth base.
- Step 2: Spoon the pesto over the yogurt, spreading evenly.
- Step 3: Halve the cherry tomatoes and layer them on top of the pesto.
- Step 4: Add the remaining yogurt on top of the tomatoes, smoothing it out.
- Step 5: Finish by sprinkling crumbled feta cheese over the final layer for a savory touch.
Things I’ve Learned
This parfait keeps well in the fridge for up to two days—just be sure to cover it tightly. If you prefer a vegan version, substitute yogurt and cheese with plant-based alternatives. You can easily make the parfait a day ahead for a stress-free brunch. To avoid sogginess, store the tomatoes separately and add them just before serving.
