Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 pita bread round

2 ounces sliced brie

(Blue cambozola is very tasty)

or any other cheese that melts well

3 roasted red bell peppers (jar) -- a few, drained

watercress or lettuce (handful)

favourite dressing or olive oil

 

1. MAKE THE POCKET. Trim off one of the long edges of the pitta bread, put the

pitta in the toaster on a medium setting for a second or two, then pop it up and

open it like they do in kebab houses, being careful it doesn't split. (Warming

the bread first makes this easier.) If the pitta doesn't fit your toaster, use

the grill, or try mini pittas.

 

2. FILL AND TOAST. Stuff the cheese and peppers inside the pocket and close by

gently pressing it down. Pop it back into the toaster on a medium setting (or

under the grill) with the open side upwards.

 

3. HELP YOURSELF. TOSS the watercress in a drizzling of your favourite dressing

or some olive oil. When the pitta pops up, cut it in half for easy eating, or

leave it as it is. Allow it to cool for a moment as it is quite hot at first.

Serve with the watercress and have a napkin at the ready -- the yummy pepper

juices may leak when you take the first bite.

 

TASTE TEAM REVIEW: Lovely. A great snack. I used Jarlsberg instead as I knew my

children wouldn't eat blue cheese. ANITA
