Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 pita breads, cut into triangles
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup sliced salami
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Cut each pita bread into 6-8 triangular wedges using a sharp knife, ensuring even sizing for consistent cooking.
- Brush the pita triangles lightly with olive oil on both sides, ensuring even coverage to help them crisp up during baking.
- Sprinkle Italian seasoning and a pinch of salt evenly over the oiled pita triangles to enhance flavor.
- Arrange the seasoned pita triangles in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.
- Distribute sliced salami pieces evenly across the pita triangles, covering most of the surface.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the salami-topped pita triangles.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges of the pita chips are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly.
- Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm as an appetizer or snack.
Tips
- Choose high-quality pita bread for the best texture and flavor.
- Make sure to brush the pita triangles evenly with olive oil to ensure maximum crispiness.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet - give each chip some space to crisp up nicely.
- Watch the chips closely in the last few minutes of baking to prevent burning.
- For extra flavor, try experimenting with different types of cheese or cured meats.
- Let the chips cool slightly before serving to allow the cheese to set and prevent burning your mouth.
- These chips are best served immediately, but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes if needed.
