Ingredients
- 2 fluffy pitas or naan flatbread
- 1-2 tsp butter or as needed
- 2 handfuls baby spinach
- 4 oz grated cheese (I used mozzarella + havarti)
- 4 slices of 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!
