Ingredients

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Cut each pita bread in half horizontally to make 2 rounds. (There will be 12 total rounds.)

In a small bowl, cream the butter with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Add the parsley, garlic, Essence, and salt and mix well. Spread about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the mixture across each pita round. Sprinkle the top of each evenly with 1 heaping tablespoon of the cheese.

Place the rounds on a cutting board and using a pizza wheel, cut each into 5 strips. Transfer to a large baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. (The strips will continue to crisp as they cool.)

Serve warm or at room temperature as hors d'oeuvres or snacks, or as accompaniments to soup or salad.

Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

    This recipe is delicious! So easy and crowd pleasing. For the health nuts out there, don't try this on whole wheat pita (as I did. It really isn't nearly as good as on white pita. The seasoning is fantastic and I've used it in many different things. My kids even use it to spice up simple pasta with alfredo.

    to the first comment. It's usually the cook and not the recipe, because you can tweak the recipe to your liking. This snack though is delicious. I personally added a little italian seasoning, which added much flavor and made a tomato dipping sauce, with some basil and oregano.

    but instead of the pita i used french bread and also without the essence.
