# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The creamy filling is perfectly balanced by the earthy artichokes and fresh spinach

  • Its protein packed but still feels like comfort food
02 -
  • Overstuffing the pitas is tempting but they will split open in the oven
  • Let the filling sit for 5 minutes before stuffing so the flavors meld together
  • Room temperature pitas are less likely to tear than cold ones from the fridge
03 -
  • Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup
