Mini BLT Pizzas
From the crunchy bacon, to the cheese, tomato and dressing, these combinations really come together to make a great pita pizza. Recipe courtesy of kathrynskitchenblog.com.
Ingredients
4 Toufayan’s Pita Bread’s (I used classic white)
1/2 cup tomato sauce (you may not use it all)
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese; shredded
4 slices of bacon
1 roma tomato; thinly sliced
4 cherry tomatoes; sliced in quarters (optional)
1 head of romaine lettuce; shredded
3 tbsp mayonnaise
1/2 tsp olive oil
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place pita breads on a lined baking sheet with foil.
Place strips of bacon on a cold frying pan. Do not have them overlap too much. Cook bacon low and slow. Once you hear the bacon crackle and see fat release, flip bacon with tongs. Keep flipping bacon until evenly brown. Place cooked bacon on a cooling rack layered with paper towels (so access fat can be absorbed). When bacon is cooled, crumble into pieces.
Add about 1 tbsp of tomato sauce on each pita bread. Swirl it around until covered, then sprinkle cheddar cheese and about 3 sliced of tomatoes. Place in oven and bake until cheese is melted for about 5-10 minutes.
In the meantime, in a bowl toss the lettuce, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt and pepper until well combined. Set in fridge until pizza is ready.
Once cheese has melted, top the mini pizzas with bacon, lettuce and more tomatoes! Enjoy!!! I apologize in advanced if I got you hooked on this—you can always use turkey bacon for a healthier alternative.

Parmesan Pita French Toast with a Whipped Walnut Pea Puree
French toast is a timeless classic! A nice hot meal you can enjoy any time of day. Recipe courtesy of xtinaluvspink.wordpress.com
Ingredients
4 eggs
1 cup nondairy milk
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp black pepper
4 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan, plus more to serve
4 Whole Wheat Pita breads
Whipped Walnut Pea Puree
3/4 cup frozen peas, cooked and drained
1/2 cup walnut halves
1/4 tsp roasted dried garlic (regular granulated garlic will work as well)
1 tbsp olive oil
1-2 tbsp nondairy milk
sea salt and black pepper, to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 425. Grease a shallow, flat-bottom baking dish that’s big enough for the pita breads. You may need to use two dishes.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and spices. Whisk in four tablespoons of freshly grated Parmesan. Place your pita loaves in a shallow, flat-bottomed dish. Pour the mixture over the pita breads and lift them up to make sure the egg can coat the bottoms as well. Set aside to soak while you make the puree.
Cook the frozen peas in the microwave, following package directions. Drain out the water and transfer to a mini food processor. If you don’t have a mini food processor, you can use a fork and a bowl, or mortar and pestle.
Add in the walnuts, garlic, olive oil and one tablespoon of milk. Puree until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl frequently. Add more milk as necessary to reach desired “whipped” consistency.
Transfer the puree to a small serving bowl.
Now that the oven is hot and the pita loaves have been able to soak, transfer the pitas to the prepared baking dish(es), pouring any remaining egg mixture over the pitas. Bake at 425 for 10 minutes, turning the dish around halfway through.
Remove from the oven and carefully transfer pita breads to plates. Top with a scoop of of the whipped puree and more freshly grated Parmesan. Enjoy hot for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

pita (cut into 4 pieces)
4 tsp olive or avocado oil

Place salmon pieces skin side down on a foil lined baking sheet.
Drizzle approximately 1 tsp of oil on each filet followed then sprinkle with oregano, salt, pepper and top with lemon slice. Bake salmon for approximately 10-12 minutes.

Mediterranean Lemon Shrimp Pita Pizza with Balsamic Glaze
Delicious zesty shrimp pita pizzas. So good you wont want to share! Now you're just being shellfish....! Recipe courtesy of tastybalancenutrition.com
Ingredients
12 medium raw shrimp, shelled and deveined (defrosted if using frozen shrimp)
4 tsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
2 tsp lemon juice
1/8 tsp kosher salt
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 oat bran or other whole grain pitas
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup baby spinach leaves
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
3 tsp grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup thinly sliced zucchini rounds
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
In a small mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, red pepper flakes and garlic powder.
Allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
While shrimp is marinating, place pitas on a baking pan.
Spread 1-1/2 teaspoons of olive oil onto each pita, going up to the edge.
Grind some black pepper over the oil.
Divide the spinach evenly between the two pitas and place on top of the olive oil. Do the same with the mozzarella, then the Parmesan, and finally the zucchini rounds.
Finally, place 6 shrimp on each pita pizza and drizzle the marinade evenly over the pizzas.
Add a few grinds of black pepper over the top.
Place pan in oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and pita is toasty.
While pizzas are in the oven, place the balsamic vinegar in a sauce pan set over high heat.
Reduce the vinegar until it is thick and syrupy, about 1-1/2 to 2 tablespoons. Be sure to watch closely since this will only take a few minutes and can burn very quickly.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over each pita.
Cut each pita into 4 slices.

Shakshuka Pita Pizza
Shakshuka pita pizzas are fast and simple to prepare, especially when your in the mood for a quick and delicious bite! Recipe courtesy of balancedkitchen.com
Ingredients
4 toufayan whole wheat pitas
4 eggs
1 cup marinara sauce or basic tomato sauce
1 cup crumbled feta or shredded mozzarella (or both and let everyone top their own)
1-2 cups baby spinach, chopped (optional)
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp sweet paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
Preheat your oven on the (high) broil setting. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven. Place a baking sheet in the oven to preheat along with the oven.
In a small pot or a bowl, heat your marinara sauce, along with the cumin and paprika, on the stove or in the microwave.
Meanwhile, lay out your pitas. If they are sort of scooped, place it so the scoop is up as this will help hold the egg in place.
When the sauce is hot, spoon ¼ cup out onto each pita and spread it out. Sprinkle your cheese of choice on top, but especially around the edges, which will help to create a barrier for the egg as well.
If are having spinach, sprinkle that around the edges as well.
Crack your eggs into the middle of the pitas. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Take your baking sheet out of the oven and top with a piece of parchment paper. Gently and carefully move your pitas onto the baking sheet.
Broil for 7-8 minutes or until the egg white is set but the yolk is still runny. Put each pizza onto a plate, cut into four pieces, and serve immediately.
