Ingredients
- 2 pieces Whole wheat pitas
- 4 ounces Goat cheese
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the whole wheat pitas on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over each pita and spread it evenly using the back of a spoon.
Spread 2 ounces of goat cheese onto each pita, making sure to distribute it evenly across the surface.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and scatter them on top of the goat cheese. Add the baby spinach leaves evenly over the pizzas.
Season each pita pizza with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a little heat.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the pita are golden and crisp, and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the pizzas cool for 2 minutes.
Top each pizza with 3 fresh basil leaves and drizzle with a little extra olive oil before serving.
Slice into quarters and serve warm or at room temperature.
