Ingredients
  

Base
  • 4 pita breads cut into triangles and separated
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil for brushing
Topping
  • 10 oz frozen chopped spinach thawed and completely squeezed dry
  • 1 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil for binding
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 pinch salt to taste

Equipment

  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Dish towel (for squeezing spinach)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cut pita breads into triangles. If thick, gently separate the front and back layers. Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheets and brush lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place thawed spinach in a clean dish towel and squeeze aggressively to remove all excess water. This prevents soggy crisps.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the dry spinach, crumbled feta, shredded mozzarella, olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  5. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the spinach-cheese mixture onto each pita triangle, pressing down slightly to spread it evenly.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the pita are golden brown and crisp, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Let cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes to allow the cheese to set, then serve warm.

Notes

Ensure your spinach is as dry as possible before mixing with the cheeses to guarantee a perfectly crunchy base. Leftovers can be reheated in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes.
