Let’s create these flavorful Mediterranean pita bakes:
1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup, if desired.
2. Prepare the Pita Bases:
- Spread a generous layer of the sun-dried tomato pesto onto one side of each pita bread.
3. Arrange Pitas and Add Toppings:
- Place the pesto-covered pita breads, pesto-side up, in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Evenly distribute the chopped Roma tomatoes, chopped fresh spinach, and sliced fresh mushrooms over the pesto layer on each pita.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the vegetables.
- Finish by sprinkling the grated Parmesan cheese on top of the feta and vegetables.
4. Drizzle with Oil and Season:
- Drizzle the olive oil lightly over the toppings on each pita.
- Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. (Add a tiny pinch of salt only if your pesto and cheeses are very low in sodium).
5. Bake:
- Place the baking sheet with the pita bakes into the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 12 minutes, or until the pita breads are crisp around the edges, the toppings are heated through, and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
6. Serve:
- Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- Let the pita bakes cool for a minute or two, then cut each pita into quarters (like a mini pizza) using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
