YUM!


I've just made an amazing discovery! I came up with a delicious way to make pita bread into cheesy, garlicy goodness. It is so easy and so good (and versatile), and it definitely satisfied my craving today. Here is the recipe:

INGREDIENTS:

Pita Pockets (round, whole)
Butter/margarine/butter spread
garlic (minced or powdered)
rosemary
mozzarella cheese

DIRECTIONS:



  1. Slice the mozzarella cheese into your desired width.

  2. Take a pita and slice open the pocket near one of the edges (the incision only has to be a couple of inches long).

  3. Slide the slices of cheese into the pocket, making sure to fill the middle completely.

  4. Spread the top with butter and sprinkle with garlic and rosemary

  5. Put into a 400-425 degree oven for about 10 minutes, or until golden around the edges (not too long or it will get crisp). You just want the cheese to have a chance to melt.

  6. Cut the finished bread into fourths with a pizza cutter.

  7. Devour!

Had I had foresight, I would have taken a picture to show y'all how tempting it is. Maybe I'll make it again soon and add a picture later.


Ideas to make this different:



  • add slices of cooked bacon or (or any kind of meat) in the middle with the cheese

  • use multiple kinds of cheeses

  • put tomato sauce in the middle

  • use cream cheese/cinnamon and sugar (cook it for less time, until the butter has melted in)

  • cream cheese and jam in the middle

  • put thinly sliced tomatoes on the top or on the inside

  • avacados!

There are many, many more, but this is just what I thought of at this moment. Enjoy!
