Quick and Easy lunch Idea..

Recently, I was given the book Don't Panic: Quick, Easy, and Delicious meal for your Family to review.  There are many great recipes, marinades, and tips in it.    

During the hot summer months, I like quick to make meals.  I try to eliminate  any oven required things... but that is almost impossible!  So the less time I have to have my oven on.... the better!    One Recipe stood out to me while I was skimming the pages of Don't Panic...  

Farmer's Cheese Flatbread

I thought ... wow a great easy recipe to experiment with the family!

It calls for:

pita bread

Farmer's or Monterey Jack cheese

Oregano

salt

pepper

It was very easy and very, very quick to make...

It was the fastest lunch I have ever made!  

I'm not kidding!

The only thing I added was a little ground meat to the top of one for 

my husband.. .the must have meat eater.

Before the oven.. the meat version 

After it boiled for 5 min. in the oven

Plated with marinara sauce for dipping!

My girls loved them!  My husband said they were like mini pizzas with out the sauce... 

There are more recipes I can't wait to try from Don't Panic.

(Below is the Recipe .  I was given permission by Baker Publishing Group to share this with you... enjoy)

Farmer's Cheese Flatbread

from pg. 23 of Don't Panic: Quick, Easy, and Delicious Meals for your family

 2 rounds pita bread, unsplit

1 cup farmer's or Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

1/2 t. dried oregano

1/2 t. salt

1/4 t. pepper

Line a jelly roll pan with foil. Preheat broiler.  Place both pitas on foil- lined pan.  Sprinkle each pita with cheese, then oregano, salt, and pepper, dividing quantities evenly between each pita.  Place under broiler in oven. Broil for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and cheese is bubbly.  Cut into wedges and serve immediately.  Wonderful served alone or with warm marinara sauce!

*tip from me- I tried it as the recipe states the first time... then I mixed the oregano, salt, and pepper together the second batched and liked it better... it was just much easier *
