Directions
Method
- Heat the oven to 450°F with a sheet pan inside.
- Arrange pita on the work surface. Spread marinara sauce evenly among them, leaving a narrow rim.
- Add low moisture mozzarella and cherry tomatoes; drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and season with dried oregano and black pepper.
- Transfer the pitas to the hot pan and bake for 7–9 minutes, until the edges are crisp and the cheese bubbles and develops golden spots.
- Finish with basil leaves after baking.
- Do not overload the pitas or their centers will soften.
