# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The creamy filling tastes like your favorite party dip but with enough protein to call it dinner
  • These pitas reheat beautifully for lunch the next day, maybe even better than fresh
02 -
  • Overfilling the pitas might cause them to burst during baking, so find that sweet spot between generous and stuffed
  • Let them cool for just a couple of minutes before eating or you will burn your tongue on the molten cheese center
03 -
  • Wring out your chopped spinach in a clean kitchen towel to prevent soggy filling
  • Warm the pitas in the oven for a couple of minutes before stuffing to make them more pliable
