Kitchen Tips

Tip 1

Make Ahead

Top pita bread rounds with cooked sausage mixture as directed. (Do not top with mozzarella.) Place in single layer on baking sheet; freeze until firm. Transfer to freezer-weight resealable plastic bags. Freeze up to 2 months. When ready to serve, place desired number of pitas on baking sheet; top each with 1/3 cup mozzarella. Bake in 400ºF oven 15 min. or until snacks are heated through and mozzarella is melted. (No need to thaw first.)

Tip 2

Variation

Prepare recipe as directed, substituting a 9.25-oz. French bread baguette, cut horizontally in half, for the split pita breads.
