What could be simpler and more delicious than fried pita with cheese? It’s a luxurious appetizer that never fails to impress! Perfect for gatherings or solo indulgence, this crispy treat is bound to become a favorite on your menu. Let’s dive into the delightful world of cheesy goodness wrapped in golden-brown pita.
Ingredients:
- 2 thin pitas, about 200 grams (7 oz)
- 50 grams (1.8 oz) Mozzarella cheese
- 70 grams (2.5 oz) hard cheese
- 30 grams (1 oz) herbs
- 75 grams (2.6 oz) sour cream (classic)
- 25 grams (0.9 oz) homemade mayonnaise
- Spices to taste
For frying:
- Refined vegetable oil
Instructions:
Cut Mozzarella into small pieces, grate the hard cheese using a coarse grater. Finely chop the herbs and add to the cheese.
Add sour cream and mayonnaise, season with salt and pepper.
Mix the filling thoroughly. Cut the pita into rectangles (approximately 20 cm x 15 cm). Place 1-2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture on the edge of each rectangle.
Roll up the pita, tucking in the edges to form a roll. Leave the rolled pita for 3-4 minutes to allow the filling to soak slightly.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the prepared pita rolls on both sides until golden brown (about 2-4 minutes per side).
Serve the delicious, crispy cheese-filled pita hot with your favorite sauce (if desired).
Enjoy your meal!
