Cheesy Garlic Pita Chips

Cheesy Garlic Pita Chips:

4 (6.5-inch) pita breads

1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

3 tbsp. butter

1 scant tsp. salt

1-2 anchovy fillets (your call on how much to use)

1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes

1/4 cup chopped garlic

3 rounded tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Place pitas directly on the middle oven rack. Bake for 4 minutes. Remove from oven and place on cooling racks.

Place olive oil, butter, salt, anchovy, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan on medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently until butter is melted and anchovies are dissolved. Add garlic. Cook, stirring for one minute. Remove from heat.

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the garlic butter mixture onto each pita. Use a brush to spread evenly over each pita. Cut each pita into 8 slices. Brush the excess butter from the saucepan onto the surface of two baking sheets. Place pita slices on baking sheets. Place in oven and bake for 8 minutes.

Remove from oven and sprinkle Parmesan on each slice. Return to oven (if baking on two separate racks, switch baking on racks to ensure even baking). Bake for about 6 additional minutes or until pita is golden brown and crispy.

Remove from oven. Allow to cool on baking sheet. Makes 32 pita chips.
