# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The creamy filling comes together in minutes but tastes like something you'd order at a Mediterranean café
  • These pitas reheat beautifully for tomorrow's lunch, making them perfect for meal prep
02 -
  • Overstuffing the pitas might cause them to split during baking, so fill them just enough that they close
  • Letting the filling sit for 10 minutes before stuffing allows the flavors to meld together better
03 -
  • Wring excess moisture from your chopped spinach after washing to prevent soggy pitas
  • Room temperature ingredients mix together more smoothly than cold ones
