Ingredients
1 medium whole wheat pita pocket
2 oz low-fat mozzarella cheese
Fresh basil leaves
One small tomato
1 tsp virgin or extra virgin coconut oil

Instructions

Cut a slice into the side of your medium pita pocket to insert ingredients. Slice 2 oz of mozzarella cheese and spread evenly inside your pita. Evenly spread a moderate amount of fresh basil leaves inside your pita. Thinly slice and spread half of the tomato inside your sandwich. 

Heat 1 tsp virgin or extra virgin coconut oil in a frying pan on low to medium heat. Sear sandwich until cheese is melted and each side of the crust is a golden brown. 


*I use fresh basil from a large basil plant that I bought at Trader Joe's for $3-$4 so I always have a plentiful amount of fresh basil at hand and don't have to spend a lot of money on a small package at the grocery store every time I need some.*
