Greek Pita Pizzas

Yield: 2 to 4

Ingredients

  • 6 oz. lean ground beef/turkey/chicken/lamb or Italian sausage
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 15 oz. can tomato sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 6-inch whole wheat or white pita bread rounds
  • 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
  • 12 pitted kalamata olives, halved (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. In a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground meat, onion, and garlic until meat is browned; drain off fat. Stir in tomato sauce, rosemary, basil and oregano. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, until sauce has thickened.
  3. Carefully split pita bread rounds in half horizontally. Place pita halves, rough sides up, in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake for 6-7 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
  4. Top toasted pita rounds with meat sauce and sprinkle with mozzarella. Bake for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Remove from oven. Top with tomatoes, feta, parsley and olives, if desired. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
  5. Enjoy!
