Roasted Garlic Cheese Pita


The slightly sweet flavor of roasted garlic infuses the savory mixture of Portabella mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes and mozzarella cheese and fills warm pita bread halves.

SERVES: 4
PREP TIME: 10 Minutes
COOK TIME: 10 Minutes

Ingredients

1 tbsp. olive oil
1-1/3 cups coarsely chopped, grilled portobello mushrooms
2 cups (8 oz.) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup chopped, drained, oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
4 large white pita breads, warmed
1/4 cup mashed, fresh roasted garlic or 1 tbsp. garlic spread
4 tsp. butter, softened
Toothpicks

Directions

	Step 1: Preheat broiler.

	Step 2: Wash and destem mushrooms. Brush each cap with olive oil.

	Step 3: Place mushroom caps, rounded side up on a rack in a broiler pan. Broil 4 inches from heat until mushrooms are hot, 2 to 3 minutes; turn mushroom caps. Cook until mushrooms are tender, 4 to 5 minutes longer. Remove from broiler; let cool and chop. To roast garlic, cut off the top half inch or so and trim the root end only if it needs cleaning. But do not detach the cloves. Put the head in a small ovenproof dish or pan. Drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil over the garlic. Add a quarter-cup of water or stock to the pan. Place the pan in the center of a 500�F oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes. Squeeze cloves out of their skins and mash.

	Step 4: Combine cheese, mushrooms and tomatoes; set aside.

	Step 5: Spread one side of pita with roasted garlic. Top pitas evenly with mozzarella mixture; press gently to form an even thickness. Fold pita in half and secure with a toothpick.

	Step 6: Brush outside with butter and grill in skillet over medium-low heat until bread is golden and filling is hot, about 4 minutes on each side.
