I'm putting THREE WHOLE RECIPES in this post, which sounds a lot more impressive than it is because reallyyyyyyy, this is not a very recipe-y recipe.

Basically, the instructions are this: Put some stuff on a piece of pita. Cover it with cheese. Bake until cheese melts. Do a happy dance. The end.

Pro tip: You can also use a piece of pita bread as the base for a quick breakfast pizza recipe!

There's a quick margarita pizza (because cheese + basil + tomatoes = EVERYTHING), a pesto + chicken + parmesan number (YAY) and a Greek-inspired pizza that I totally and 100% ripped off from my friend Elizabeth (HI ELIZABETH) after she made us something similar a few months ago.

This is the perfect "we-have-nothing-for-dinner" dinner, and it's easy to make a few different varieties so that everyone gets a couple of unique slices.

...or, y'know, so that you have five different mini pizzas all to yourself. You do you.

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Lay pita bread rounds in a single layer on a large baking sheet. They won't rise or expand, so you can place them quite close together on the baking sheet if you need to.
3. Choose your pizza! You can make all three of the combinations above, or just choose one or two, or add your own favorite pizza toppings! This is kind of a no-recipe recipe, so there aren't too many instructions.
4. Top each pita bread round with your desired toppings. If you're making the margarita pita bread pizza, leave the basil leaves off until AFTER the pizza is baked, and then add them at the last minute so they don't wilt!
5. Bake pita bread pizzas at 375 degrees F for 10-15 minutes until pita bread has lightly crisped, toppings are heated through, and cheese has just melted.
6. Slice pitas into quarters and serve immediately.
