Not your average grilled cheese sandwich, these are so much more! Pita Grilled Cheese stuffed with Mediterranean favorites including melty mozzarella, feta, spinach, sundried tomatoes, and a little basil pesto. Add your favorite salad for a complete meal! ![]() Grilled cheese with a Mediterranean twist!The grilled cheese sandwich is an American classic everyone loves! And I won't blame you if the first thing you picture when you hear grilled cheese is heavily buttered toast and melty American cheese, maybe served next to a bowl of tomato soup. But today is about a different grilled cheese experience with a bit of a Mediterranean twist! These pita grilled cheese are delicious pockets of pita bread, filled with Mediterranean favorites, replacing your typical yellow cheese squares with melty mozzarella and rich, salty feta, and even sneaking in a good handful of baby spinach. Sweet sun-dried tomatoes and a few spoons of basil pesto seal the deal! I won't be offended if you take a shortcut and use store-bought basil pesto, but if you're after the real deal, definitely try my homemade basil pesto recipe (I share couple of tips that make all the difference). ![]() Can you use any cheese for grilled cheese?Some skeptics may decide that only American cheese or chedder cheese are right for a grilled cheese sandwich, but I will say that mozzarella and feta are also worth considering! In fact, together, melty mozzarella and creamy, salty feta provide the perfect flavor balance and texture in these cheese pitas! So worth a try! You do not need a panini press to make this!Sure, if you have a panini press, go ahead and use it to make this grilled mozzarella sandwich, but you do not need one! A grill pan is perfectly enough to make these pita grilled cheese sandwiches (I use this grill pan). And to apply pressure over my pita pockets as they cook in the hot pan, I simply use a heat-safe spatula. ![]() IngredientsHere's what you'll need to make these pita grilled cheese
