TOASTED GARLIC PITA

MAKES SIX 5-INCH GARLIC PITA BREADS

This is a very simple recipe for garlic bread using pita instead of the traditional French or Italian. If you use homemade pita, it is even better. They can be served as an accompaniment to a meal or cut into triangles and added to a party buffet.

INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup olive oil

2 large cloves garlic, minced

6 pita breads, about 5-inch diameter

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Chopped fresh parsley

Freshly ground pepper

Preheat oven to 350° F. Place the oil and garlic in a small bowl. Microwave on high until garlic is softened, about 40 seconds. Be careful not to brown. Place the pita breads on baking sheets. Using a brush, spread some oil and garlic on top of each pita. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, parsley and pepper. Bake until hot and slightly browned, 10-15 minutes. For crispier bread use a hotter oven. Serve hot or room temperature.
