Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pita bread
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine shredded mozzarella, crumbled feta, chopped parsley, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut each pita bread into halves, forming pockets.
Gently open each pita pocket and stuff it with about 2-3 tablespoons of the cheese mixture, spreading it evenly inside.
Once all the pita pockets are stuffed, lightly brush the outsides of the pita with olive oil using a pastry brush.
Place the stuffed pitas on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the outsides are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the oven, allow to cool for 1-2 minutes, and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
