Discover expert tips, insights, and the latest news and recipes from Mediterranean Bread Company
Wheat Pita Bread Akawi Cheese Melts with Baba Ghanouj Dip are a warm,
cheesy, and ridiculously easy Mediterranean-inspired meal, vegetarian and perfect for Lent! Made with
Mediterranean Bread Company’s wheat pita bread, melty Akawi cheese,
and creamy baba ghanouj, this recipe is perfect for a quick lunch,
snack, or simple dinner.
Ingredients:
• 2 Mediterranean Bread Company Wheat Pita Breads
• 6–8 oz Akawi cheese, sliced
• 1/2 cup baba ghanouj (for dipping)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for toasting)
• Handful of fresh parsley (optional)
• Black pepper to taste (optional)
• Optional add-ins: sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, or olives
Instructions:
Warm the wheat pita breads in a toaster or on a skillet until soft.
Slice each pita open to create a pocket (or cut into halves if you
prefer wedge-style melts).
Stuff each pita with sliced Akawi cheese.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil or butter.
Toast the stuffed pita for 2–4 minutes per side, pressing lightly,
until the pita is golden and the cheese is melted. (Covering the pan
for a minute helps the cheese melt faster.)
Slice into wedges and serve immediately with baba ghanouj on the side
for dipping.
Optional: Sprinkle with parsley and a little black pepper before serving.
Tips:
• If your Akawi is extra salty, soak the slices in water for 10–15
minutes, then pat dry before using.
• Make it a full plate by serving with cucumber, tomato, and olives on the side.
• For crispier dippers, cut the pita into triangles and toast the
cheese-filled pieces like mini grilled-cheese wedges.
