There are some recipes that take very minimal effort & yet they turn out amazingly delicious. These Mini Pita Pizzas, a cheater version of everybody's favorite, Pizza  is one such recipe. It would hardly require 15 mins of your time & at the end, you dish out a super delicious starter or a tea time snack.

 

 

They make a great starter for your summer parties or even as a kiddie snack. You can even get your kids to make their own toppings. I used store bought Pita Bread & pasta sauce. You can make your own pita bread, if you have the time or use whole wheat Pita bread for a healthier option.

 

You could alternatively use baguette or even regular bread instead of pita bread. Play around with toppings & add more variety

 

 

How To:

In a sauce pan, heat olive oil, add onions & saute for a couple of mins. Throw in chopped bell peppers, chopped cherry tomatoes, Sweet corn. Add some salt & let of cook for a minute or so.

 

Later, Add Pasta sauce, Cream cheese, Basil, dried oregano. Mix well & allow it to cook on low flame for a couple of mins. Check for salt , turn of the stove & allow it to cool a bit.

 

Meanwhile, heat a griddle. Scoop about 2 tsp of this mixture into individual mini pita bread. Top with chopped olives. Place them on the griddle. Allow it to turn warm & slightly crisp at the bottom. Toast them for a minute on low flame. Transfer to a serving plate, Garnish with basil leaves & serve warm

 

NOTE:

 

You can also toast the pita bread in the oven.

 

Since I used Britannia Cream Cheese, I did not top it with extra cheese. But you could go ahead and top the pita breads with a little bit of grated mozarella cheese.

 

While toasting the pita breads, do not leave them unattended. You do not want the base of the bread to turn very crisp.
