Mushroom Pita Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes until they begin to brown.

  2. 2

    Add Spinach and Artichokes

    Add chopped spinach and artichoke hearts to the skillet. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Season with salt and black pepper, and stir to combine. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Pita

    While the vegetables are cooking, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the pita bread in half and open each pocket.

  5. 5

    Fill the Pita

    Stuff each pita pocket with the sautéed mushroom mixture and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

  6. 6

    Toast the Pita

    Place the stuffed pitas on a baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the pita is slightly crispy.

  7. 7

    Add Toppings

    Remove from the oven and drizzle with basil pesto and sprinkle with diced tomato before serving.
