Preparation

Finely slice all the vegetables. Melt the butter in a skillet and lightly cook the vegetables 4 to 5 minutes until soft. Add a pinch of oregano, salt and pepper and mix well. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Spread the tomato sauce over the pita breads. On the first half of each, spread the ham slices, the vegetables and the Mozzarella slices. Fold the other half across and hold in place with a toothpick.

Serve cold or warm.

Tips

Most pizzas call for Mozzarella, but have fun experimenting with other Canadian cheeses, as well. Each has a distinct personality for almost endless variety to your pizza creations. Just make sure the cheese is grated or very thinly sliced.
