Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Set the pitas on a baking sheet and spread each with a thin layer of basil pesto.
- Coarsely grate the mozzarella and scatter it over the pesto-coated pitas.
- Thinly slice the sun-dried tomatoes and arrange them on top of the cheese; sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
- Slide the sheet into the oven and bake until the pitas are lightly crisp and the cheese has melted, about 5–7 minutes. Remove and let the wedges cool briefly before cutting.
- Cut each pita into wedges and divide among plates for serving.
Two tips
- Prep ahead by assembling the toppings on the pitas and refrigerating up to 1 hour before baking.
- If you don’t have sun-dried tomatoes, use sliced fresh tomatoes and drizzle with a pinch more Italian seasoning for flavor.
