I'm not a big fan of pita bread, so I used whole wheat bread instead. The sandwiches were still very good, but I think I would have liked them better with pita bread.

I'm not a big fan of feta cheese, so I used mozzarella instead. The sandwiches were still very good, but I think I would have liked them better with feta.
