Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Place 2 large pita breads on a baking sheet and brush each with 1 tbsp olive oil, ensuring even coverage.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, combine 1 cup tomato sauce, 1 tsp honey, 1 tsp dried oregano, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Stir until smooth and slightly sweetened.
  3. Step 3: Spread the sweet tomato sauce evenly over the pita breads, covering the surface but leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over each pita, then top with 1/8 cup sliced kalamata olives, 2 tbsp sliced red onion, 1/6 cup crumbled feta cheese, and 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves.
  5. Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the edges of the pita are golden and slightly crispy.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven and let cool for 3 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
