Ingredients

  • 2 pitas (whole wheat or regular)
  • 2-3 TBSP pesto store-bought or homemade
  • 2-4 TBSP grated Mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup fresh chopped spinach
  • 3 mushrooms sliced
  • ¼ cup chopped tomato
  • 2 TBSP crumbled Feta cheese
  • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes - optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pre-heat conventional oven or toaster oven to 350°F.
  2. Prep ingredients by grating mozzarella (or use pre-shredded), finely chopping spinach, slicing mushrooms, and chopping tomatoes. Mushrooms can be added raw or sautéed first if desired. I wanted mine super golden and extra flavorful so I gave them a quick sauté in olive oil before adding them to my pizza. Feel free to follow suit!
  3. Spread the top of each pita with a layer of pesto and top with mozzarella cheese. Add spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, and feta on top.
  4. Place pitas on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes or until pita is nice and crispy and the cheese is melty.
  5. Slice and serve. Enjoy hot form the oven and feel free to sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes for a little kick!

Notes

  • To serve a crowd, this recipe easily doubles, triples, or quadruples. Have a quick and easy pita pizza party with friends or family and let everyone choose their toppings!
  • No fresh spinach? No problem! If you have creamed spinach squirreled away in your freezer it makes a fantastic base! Frozen chopped spinach will work too; simple squeeze it dry first and season to taste.
