We loved this recipe!! It can be made using homemade
Herb Bread or a whole wheat pita. In the pictures I used a pita. Add a salad and you're all set!
Cheese "Bread" with Fresh Basil
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 egg, optional
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
fresh Basil
2 whole wheat pitas
Optional: crushed garlic, sliced tomatoes
Directions
Preheat oven to 375.
In a bowl mix ricotta cheese, egg, Italian herbs and 1/4 cup shredded mozarrella cheese.
Spread mixture over pita. Top with remaining mozzarrella and then fresh Basil. Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until slightly brown or bubbly. Pita should be somewhat crispy.

| I ran out of mozzarella cheese so this one had cheddar/jack mixture. |
Oh yum! What a great idea to add fresh basil. I wish I had some growing right now.... I will have to plant some... :)

YES! Go plant some! last month I planted 15 so that I could keep a few and give a few as gifts. You can never have too much basil.

I like the presentation of both and I think my preference would be with the cheddar. These must be scrumptious. Thanks for adding them to the Recipe Box.
