For Measurements refer to the RECIPE CARD further below.

• Olives – I used sliced green olives.
• Bell peppers – Green color, chopped
• Mayonnaise – optional. you may use eggless version.

How To Make Cheese Sandwich With Pita Bread

Firstly, heat a skillet and apply some butter.

Thereafter, warm the pita bread on the skillet till it puffs up.

Seondly, in a mixing bowl, take grated cheese.

To this add chopped onion, chilies, chopped coriander, sliced olives and chopped bell pepper.

Finally, add black pepper powder, salt and oregano.

Now mix nicely.

To make the sandwich, open up each pita bread with a knife.

Apply mayonnaise on one side of pita bread.

Fill the cheese stuffing and tomato into each pita bread.

Bring forth the upper flap of pita and cover the cheese mixture.

Spray a grill pan with some cooking spray and heat it.

Now place the cheese pita sandwich onto the grill pan and grill it well. The cheese mixture should soften and grill marks appear.

Flip and grill on the other side as well.

Repeat for the remaining pita bread sandwich.

Cut into two and serve hot.

What to serve with

Serve Grilled Khubz Cheese Sandwich with comforting Zesty Lemon Coriander Soup or Carrot Tomato Soup. Alongside, you could serve Tabbouleh with Pomegranate Salad , Beans Sprouts Salad or Red Kidney Bean Protein Salad

Tips

Use fresh pita bread. 3-4 days old pita bread will have a tendency to break into bits. This would result in the cheese oozing out from the holes while the sandwich is grilled. A messy scenario!

You can be creative with the filling and cheese varieties.

The grill pan should be hot enough to melt the cheese filling and get the grill marks.

You may use a Panini press or sandwich maker instead of a grill pan.
