Time 10m

Yield 1 sandwich, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 jimmy dean turkey sausage patties
2 -3 slices cheese (I reccommend Cabot sharp cheddar cheese)
1/2 pita pocket
2 -3 tablespoons taco bell mild taco sauce

Steps:

  • First, heat a pan on medium heat (I like to spray a little cooking spray, because the sausages sometimes stick) and then cook the two sausage patties until browned.
  • Then take the slices of cheese and place them on the sausage pattie, and turn the heat down to low.
  • When the cheese is a little melted take the patties and place them in the halfed pita pocket. Then put the pocket back in the pan, and brown until lightly toasted on both sides.
  • Lastly, take out the pita pocket and spoon the sauce into the sandwich.
  • enjoy.
  • *NOTE: you can use any type of cheese or meat and sauce.

CHEESE & PEPPER PITTA POCKET



Cheese & pepper pitta pocket image

A fantastic high-speed or vegetarian snack to make your mouth water

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Lunch, Main course, Snack, Supper, Treat

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pitta bread , white or wholemeal
2 long slices of brie (Blue Cambozola is very tasty) or any other cheese that melts well
a few roasted peppers from a jar or the deli counter
a handful of watercress or lettuce
your favourite dressing or olive oil

Steps:

  • Trim off one of the long edges of the pitta bread, put the pitta in the toaster on a medium setting for a second or two, then pop it up and open it like they do in kebab houses, being careful it doesn't split. (Warming the bread first makes this easier.) If the pitta doesn't fit your toaster, use the grill, or try mini pittas.
  • Stuff the cheese and peppers inside the pocket and close by gently pressing it down. Pop it back into the toaster on a medium setting (or under the grill) with the open side upwards.
  • Toss the watercress in a drizzling of your favourite dressing or some olive oil. When the pitta pops up, cut it in half for easy eating, or leave it as it is. Allow it to cool for a moment as it is quite hot at first. Serve with the watercress and have a napkin at the ready - the yummy pepper juices may leak when you take the first bite.
