Grilled Pizza on a Pita
Print
For our July issue, we asked readers to send us their favorite grilling recipes. Click here to see all the recipes we got!
Reader-submitted
From reader Shelly Cellak, who says: "My family loves to grill pizza because it not only allows our 4-year-old be to creative with ingredients, but she’s much more likely to eat it when it’s her recipe. For most, this recipe is a 'little people' crowd pleaser."
Ingredients
- 4 whole pita breads (you can also use English muffins)
- Olive oil
- Diced tomatoes
- Red/green/yellow peppers
- Thinly sliced mushrooms
- Shredded cheese of your choice
Directions
- Heat grill to medium. Spray or brush your "crust" (a pita) with olive oil.
- Top pitas with ingredients (kids will love sprinkling toppings on their pizzas!).
- Place pitas on grill. Cover grill and cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until grill marks appear on the bottom of the pita and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Transfer each pita to a plate and cut into wedges to serve.
