Notes
- 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.
