Pita Pizza

SarahK's Note:

I found this in quick and easy style cookbook a long time ago. It literally takes only 15 minutes from start to finish to make! I made changes that my family likes and this is what I ended up with. My family really likes to make these as well and eat them. The kids have tons of fun making their own.

I've been eating these for as long as I can remember eating. These days a just do Margarita pita pizzas: No sauce, just grated mozzarella, torn fresh basil, sliced italian tomatoes, a sprinkling of grated parmesan and a touch of fresh ground black pepper. Heaven.

I used whole wheat pocketless pitas, reduced fat mozzarella, and skipped the parmesan. As toppings I chose sauteed mushrooms and marinated artichoke hearts. Thank you for helping me making the pizza night a bit more figure friendly :-)

Made 2 little pizzas for a quick lunch - added some fresh mushrooms and some turkey pepperoni. Mmm good!! Perfect lunch! :)
