I was feeling like spinach pie for lunch one day, so I whipped this up instead. It tasted awesome...just like my spinach pie, and it only took about 15 minutes to make.

How To Make spinach melt pitas

Step 1

Use the oil to saute the chopped onion for a minute or two. Add the spinach and cook until it is heated through. Add a small pinch of red pepper flakes, a squeeze of lemon juice, and salt and pepper. Taste and adjust the flavors to your liking.

Step 2

Add the cheese to the pan with the spinach. Taste again and add more cheese if you need to.
Step 3

Cut the pita in half and carefully open each pocket. Put half of the spinach mixture in each half. Put the pita halves in a sandwich press and heat until toasty (2-3 minutes).
Step 4

Serve on own or with some heated marinara sauce.
