These little delights are easy and out of this world delicious! The pita pocket makes a lovely, crispy crust. I make one of these and pop it into my toaster oven and in about ten minutes have a "gourmet-style" lunch. Fantastic for cutting into quarters and serving as party appetizers too. Note: The tomato, pesto and feta cheese amounts are approximate - put on as much or little of each as you want.

Time 35m

Yield 2 pita pizzas, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large pita bread
olive oil flavored cooking spray
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 cups chopped fresh spinach
4 tablespoons pesto sauce (store bought)
1 chicken breast, cooked and shredded
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/3 cup red onion, sliced
1/3 cup button mushroom, sliced
1/3 cup red bell pepper, sliced
1/4 cup jalapeno, seeded and sliced
1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Place pita bread on baking sheet.
  • Spray with Olive Oil cooking spray.
  • Place in oven and bake for 3-4 minutes.
  • In a skillet heat 1 tsp olive oil.
  • Add spinach and saute just until slightly wilted then remove from heat and set aside.

  • Spread the remaining ingredients between the two pita breads.
  • Top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Tips:

  • Use a quality pesto: The pesto is the star of the show in this recipe, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a pesto that is made with fresh basil, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, and garlic. You can also make your own pesto at home if you have the time.
  • Don't overcook the pita bread: The pita bread should be cooked just until it is crispy and golden brown. If you overcook it, it will become dry and tough.
  • Use fresh toppings: The toppings are what really make this pizza special. Use fresh, seasonal vegetables and herbs for the best flavor.
  • Serve the pizza immediately: Pesto pita pizza is best served immediately after it is made. The pita bread will get soggy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Pesto pita pizza is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It's also a great way to use up leftover pesto. With its crispy pita crust, flavorful pesto, and fresh toppings, this pizza is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
