The Joy of Pita Bread

I love pita bread. You can get it in regular, wheat and multi grain. I use it toasted but you can use it right out of the bag. When toasting, cut in half first. You can toast in oven, toaster oven or toaster. I use my toaster. The bread is usually to large so when it "pops" I simply flip it over and toast some more. You do need to work with it right after you remove it from the toaster or oven when it can still "move" a bit. Just like bread when toasted, it gets harder as it cools.
Here are just a few ideas to get you started.
Breakfast
Fill the pita pocket with scrambled eggs. You can add crumbled bacon or sausage. Jazz up your egg pocket with onions and peppers.

Toast the pita bread, butter the inside of the pockets and sprinkle with sugar and Cinnamon.

Lunch:
Chop lettuce and place in the pita bread. Take your favorite lunch meat, roll two slices and place in the pocket and top with shredded cheese.

Dinner:
Grill hamburgers, cut them in half and place one half in half the pita pocket. You can add cheese to your burger and add onion and lettuce to the pocket.

Fill pockets with sloppy joe.

Fill pockets with beef stew.

In a bowl add diced chicken, chopped celery, peppers, onions and mayo - salad dressing or ranch dressing. Season to taste. Mix well and fill pita pockets.

Toast the pita bread and cut into pieces to use with dips.

As you can see the possibilities are endless. Be creative.

Enjoy!
