After testing a new recipe for homemade
za'atar , this aromatic herb blend is responsible for the magic behind this dish. Stuffed pita with mozzarella and
za’atar
is one of my new favorite small bites. A quick and easy appetizer perfect for last-minute guest, small or large gatherings, and game night. Stuffed with melted mozzarella cheese, I coat the soft pita bread with the freshly made
za’atar (recipe in my book; It Begins at The Table) ,
bake, roll and
halve before serving it warm. You can make this recipe both gluten-free and dairy-free by using corn tortillas and dairy-free cheese.
I hope you enjoy this recipe! If you’ve made it please share it with me by tagging @culinarybutterfly on Pinterest,
