Ingredients
2fluffy pitas or naan flatbread
1-2tspbutteror as needed
2handfuls baby spinach
4ozgrated cheese(I used mozzarella + havarti)
4slicesof ripe tomato
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Prep your veggies + cheese so they're ready to go.
Heat a pan or skillet to medium-high heat and add 1 tsp butter.
Once butter begins to bubble, add a pita to the pan.
Top with cheese, spinach, tomato, and a little extra cheese on top. Top with remaining pita round and grill.
For an extra hot and melty center, pop a clear pot lid on top. Before flipping, add another tsp of butter to the pan, or feel free to spread it on top of the dry side of the pita - both techniques work! Pop your lid back on if you’re using one and grill each side until golden brown with a melty center.
Cut into 4 wedges and dive in!
Notes
You can use pre-sliced or freshly grated cheese for these grilled cheese pitas.Feel free to add any of your favorite grilled cheese extras! I'm super partial to adding a dash or two of hot sauce or fresh + flavorful pesto. You can even add extra veggies - go for it!Nutrition Facts below are estimated using an online recipe nutrition calculator. Adjust as needed and enjoy!
