Pita Toast Triangles

I like stuff you can make beforehand. This is one of those recipes. They even freeze well.

Pita Toast Triangles

Pita rounds, separated at the edges with a serrated knife.

Melted butter – brush on the inside of the rounds

Parmesan or Romano cheese – sprinkled on top

Herbs (basil, dill, marjoram or thyme) – sprinkled on top

Cut into 8 wedges, place on baking sheet and bake at 400° for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips:   - Easy to make beforehand. Just store in air-tight container and reheat before serving.
