INGREDIENTS:

• 1 (6 oz.) tub sun-dried tomato pesto
• 6 (6 inch) whole wheat pita breads
• 2 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
• 1 bunch spinach, rinsed and chopped
• 4 fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• Ground black pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before you begin.
2. Start by coating each piece of pita bread generously with sun-dried tomato pesto. Ensure an even layer of pesto on each pita.
3. Once the pita bread is coated with pesto, begin layering the ingredients on top of each pita. In the following order, add: ground black pepper, chopped tomatoes, a drizzle of olive oil, rinsed and chopped spinach, grated Parmesan cheese, sliced mushrooms, and crumbled feta cheese.
4. After assembling your pita bread with all the delicious toppings, it’s time to bake. Place the prepared pitas in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld, the toppings to become slightly crispy, and the pita to become warm and delightful.
5. Once baked to perfection, remove the pitas from the oven. Let them cool slightly to make them easier to handle.
6. To serve, cut the baked pita bread into triangles. This makes it perfect for sharing or enjoying as a bite-sized treat.
