 Description: This snack is unbelievable easy to make but it doesn’t taste like it. Another great thing about this snack is it’s nutritious and vegetarian. So it will please even your most finicky of guests.

Serves: 16

Ingredients: 4 whole wheat pita breads  
1 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil (You may substitute 2 teaspoons of dried basil)  
 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper  
 1/8 teaspoon of dried thyme  
 36 sliced cherry tomatoes
 Olive oil (to brush the bread)
 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese

Method:

Preheat oven to 350° F. While the oven is preheating, grab a paring knife and the pita bread. Split each of the pita breads in half horizontally (break the break in half). Then cut each of the halves into halves so that you have four quarters.

Place each of the quarters of pita bread onto a nonstick baking sheet face down. Then brush each piece of the pita bread with the olive oil. Set aside.

Mix together the basil, the pepper, and the thyme in a small mixing bowl. Then sprinkle the mixture the mixture over the pita bread. Make sure you sprinkle all slices of the bread evenly. Next put two or three cherry tomato slices on each quarter. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese making sure to do it evenly once again.

Once the oven is preheated, place the wedges in the oven until the cheese on each of the wedges is slightly browned and the bread is crisp. This should take about five minutes.

When the bread is done, remove from oven, place on a tray, and serve.
