Thread: Sausage Pita Pockets

**WINNER** Best Breakfast August 2012

My mom and I made these all the time when I was a kid. Keep grandpa away from them though, or they will only feed one person-----him!!! They are great for breakfast, lunch, a quick snack, or even a quick dinner.


½ cup mayonnaise
1 cup cheddar cheese
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1 package ground sausage (I like to use Jimmy Dean original)
salt and pepper
1 packages white pita bread pockets (or desired pockets)

1 In a frying pan, brown sausage until fully cooked. Chop, grind and separate while cooking, so it is broken up into smaller ¼ to ½ inch pieces. Drain excess fat, if any. Let cool.

2 Cut pita bread pockets in half. Open carefully, so they are pocket sized. Don't worry if you break some of them, it is bound to happen! This is no easy task! You can still use the broken ones if you are careful.

3 In a medium bowl, mix cheeses, mayonnaise and sausage. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

4 Use a large table spoon, and spoon about 1 scoop of mix into each pocket. Put in any containers that store food such as a tupperware cake holder. Make sure you will also have room in the refridgerator. Otherwise, you may want to bag them in baggies, that way you can freeze some of them for later use.

5 Even out the amount of mixture you have and pockets you have, so that you use it all up.

6 When you are ready to eat these, just put in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds, or until hot. Defrost them first if you freeze any of them.

Made these today on some very soft pita bread I got at Costco, yum!

I just spread half mixture on half the bread and then folded like a quesadilla. Much easier than the method I posted above and super yummy!
