64 blt pita pizza

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.

4 Whole Wheat Pita breads
Whipped Walnut Pea Puree
3/4 cup frozen peas, cooked and drained

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

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.

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.

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.

33 shakshuka

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.

To make the pita pizzas, place four pitas on a baking sheet that has been lightly sprayed with olive oil.

Spread a thin layer of sauce and add 4 dollops of cashew cheese to each pita.

Crack the egg first into a small bowl (to make sure the yolk stays intact), then carefully pour into the center of the pita.

Broil the pizzas on LOW for about 5 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the eggs are cooked but the yolks are still runny.

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh arugula. Enjoy!
