What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Eat More: X-traordinary Pesto Pepperoni Pita! When there’s nothing in the house for lunch, take stock of leftovers in your refrigerator. Transform that last pita pocket into a personal pizza with basil pesto, sliced pepperoni, a dollop of tomato sauce, and a handful of mozzarella cheese. That’s what I did. Suddenly, it’s an appealing alternative to a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
X-TRAORDINARY PESTO PEPPERONI PITA
Ingredients:
1 pita bread
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons tomato sauce
2 tablespoons basil pesto
3-5 slices pepperoni
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon black olives
1 teaspoon pimento
Instructions:
Spread olive oil evenly over one side of pita bread. Warm pita bread in an iron skillet over medium heat for one minute. Press to flatten. Next build the pizza. Spread with tomato sauce and basil pesto. Layer pepperoni over sauces. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Top with black olives and pimento. Reduce heat to low. Cover skillet to allow cheese to melt. For a crispy crust, remove lid and raise the heat back to medium. Do not burn. Serve whole with salad greens.
That looks yummy… It’s nearly lunch time here too 😋
