Pizza Pita Pockets

Hey guys, once again, a time crunch has fallen on me.
I wasn't sure what I wanted to make today, but I really want to get around to blogging regularly (after all, I'm sure you would like to read about new recipes every week ;] ).


Today we're going to make some quick and easy pizza pita pockets.

You will need:

• Pita bread
• Shredded cheese
• Pizza toppings (bell pepper, pepperoni, sausage, ham, pinapple--whatever you like to be on pizza!!)

First, we grab our bag of pita bread and take one out. Place this onto a cutting board. If you have a pair of kitchen scissors, I would grab these now since they make it much easier, and if not, a knife is fine.

My pita is garlic :)

Is that a...crater? Just kidding :P

 Slice your pita in halves and open them up.

Handy dandy kitchen scissors <3

Pry it open slowly to avoid ripping.

 If you're having trouble, try using a butter knife. Simply insert it into the pita, like in the picture, and wiggle it left and right gently while pushing into the pita gently.

Patience is the key here, wiggle slowly and gently.

Done!! Patience has paid off

 I used mild cheddar for my pita pizzas. Simply take your shredded cheese and fill the pita pocket about 1/3 full with cheese. You may add your toppings now, I chose to have no toppings inside since my pita is already garlic. I'm fine with plain and simple :)

Mild cheddar is flavorful, but not too strrong, in my opinion.

Filling...

...and filled!!

I spy a long strand of cheese :O

 Now place the pita pockets on a microwavable dish, usually glass or ceramic, and place in your microwave.  Cover the dish and microwave for 30 seconds.

Looks like fractions @__@

Prepared to microwave

Covering helps to avoid messes, just in case

 Now that the cheese melted, the pita is flat once more.

Flat and easy to eat

Delicious melty cheese <3

And if you want to have them for lunch the next day, like I plan to do, simply put it into a plastic baggie then place in fridge, and toss into toaster oven next morning. Then wrap in aluminum foil and take it with you :D

Happy eatings!!
