How to Make 5 Minute Pita Pizza

  1. Preheat your grill to high heat.
  2. Heat 1/2 cup leftover sauce in the microwave for 3 minutes.
  3. Spread the warmed sauce evenly over 2 pita breads.
  4. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  5. Grill for 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the pita is lightly toasted.

  7. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
