Great Mediterranean dish! I loved the taste of the tahini sauce. Must say what I liked most was how quick and easy this was to make. I baked for 8 minutes which was enough time to heat it up and brown slightly but I may leave in a minute or two longer to cook the veggies a little more next time. I made it the main course as a mini pita pizza and served it with a Greek Salad. I will definitely be making this often. Thanks for a keeper!

These were very tasty. My pitas were probably a bit too small...they were closer to 6" rather than 7". I think this may have made the yogurt mixture a little too thick, because the pitas never really 'crisped'.
