Pita Grilled Cheese image

Quick easy pita grilled cheese is loaded with Mediterranean flavors of spinach, olive, and sun-dried tomato stuffed inside pita bread with cheddar cheese.

Provided by Sam Hu | Ahead of Thyme

Categories     Sandwich

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil
5 ounces baby spinach (about 3 cups)
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons kalamata olives, sliced
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
3 whole pita bread, cut in half
12 slices cheddar cheese (or 2.5 cups shredded)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the hot oil sizzles, about 1 minute. Add spinach and sauté until completely wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Stir in olives and sun-dried tomatoes. Mix well and set aside.
  • Open each sliced pita pocket and arrange 1 slice of cheddar cheese inside (You can tear the slice in half and overlap them to make it easier to fit in). Top with 3 tablespoons of the spinach filling, then layer with another slice of cheese on top.
  • Heat a clean skillet over medium-low heat for 1 minute and use a silicone brush to brush with a little bit of oil. Place two stuffed pita halves on the hot pan at a time and cook until crispy and the cheese melts, about 2 minutes per side. Flip them over once and press down using the back of a flipper spatula.
  • Repeat with the remaining pita pockets and serve warm.

JAZZED UP GRILLED CHEESE AND TURKEY PITA



Jazzed up Grilled Cheese and Turkey Pita image

My mother gave me the idea, by kicking the boring grilled cheese sandwich up a notch. Then I experimented by using pita bread and it is not only quick and easy but savory for when I want something light but heartier than just the everyday sandwich.

PESTO PITA BRUSCHETTA - 2 WAYS



Pesto Pita Bruschetta - 2 Ways image

This is an healthier alternative to bruschetta using pita bread instead of a baguette or french stick. You can either use mayonnaise or cheese spread to mix with the pesto & either tomato slices or diced tomatoes. I use a soft cheese spread, the ones that are sold in triangles, they are really creamy & mix really well with the pesto.

Provided by Mandy

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 4m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pita bread round
1 teaspoon prepared pesto sauce
1 teaspoon mayonnaise or 1 teaspoon cream cheese spread
1 tomatoes, thinly sliced or 1/2 cup chopped grape tomatoes
2 tablespoons fresh parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Combine the pesto & mayonnaise or pesto & cream cheese. ( I do this on the pita to save on dishes).
  • Place or sprinkle tomatoes on top and then sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
  • Place under you griller or broiler and cook until pitas are slightly crisp & cheese is melted.

BEST GRILLED CHEESE AND TURKEY SANDWICH



Best Grilled Cheese and Turkey Sandwich image

This recipe might sound strange... who ever thought of using mayo on a grilled cheese instead of butter?? Try it, you'll see. It makes a great crunch on the bread. And you can use fat free mayo... I don't think fat free butter exists. I haven't found a cheese I don't like with this sanwich. You can also switch up the meat.

  • Sautee the Spinach. In a grill pan, heat 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the spinach and cook for a couple of minutes, tossing, until wilted. Transfer the spinach to a plate for now and turn the heat off.
  • Assemble the sandwiches. Open up the pita pockets (it helps to warm the pita so they don’t break when you open them). Spread the feta on the bottom followed by basil pesto. Spoon a bit of the wilted spinach on top. Add the mozzarella and sundried tomatoes.
  • Grill the pitas. Heat the grill pan again over medium-high. Brush the pitas with extra virgin olive oil on both sides. Arrange the pita sandwiches in the heated pan, making sure they are all touching the hot pan. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or so on one side, applying pressure on the top part of the sandwich with the back of a spatula, turn over and cook for another couple minutes, applying pressure again with your spatula, until the cheese is melted and the bread gains some beautiful char marks. Manage the heat to make sure the bread is well-crisped but not burned and the mozzarella is melted (you may need to cover the pan very briefly).
