• Swap Feta cheese for Cheddar cheese (1:1) — A firm salty cheese keeps the same role in the salad

Preparation

1. 1

   Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a wide frying pan over medium heat and sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds.

2. 2

   Add the spinach leaves and cook for 2 minutes until fully wilted; remove from heat and press excess liquid out with a spoon.

3. 3

   Roughly chop the wilted spinach and mix in a bowl with crumbled feta, shredded mozzarella, and black pepper.

4. 4

   Slice open each pita bread to form a pocket, or split horizontally, and stuff generously with the spinach-cheese filling.

5. 5

   Brush the outside of each pita with the remaining olive oil.

6. 6

   Toast in a hot dry skillet for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the pita is crisp and the cheese inside has completely melted.
