One of my favorite tricks to serving a quick and easy snack is pita chips with flavored cream cheese. You guys already know how much I love Philadelphia cream cheese, not just because I live in Philly, but this stuff is seriously the amazing! Kraft recently started making flavored blends that can be used in desserts or just served as a dip!
Yesterday I shared my favorite chunky guacamole recipe so today I had to share this pita chips recipe because pita chips are the best thing to use for dipping into any tip of dip. These baked chips are much healthier then store bought chips and are super crunchy. If you want to make this recipe even healthier you can use whole wheat bread instead of the traditional white bread.
They are incredibly easy to prepare and make and you can adjust the seasoning suit your taste – I usually top them with bread dip seasoning or dry Italian seasoning. I find that the Italian seasoning goes really well with the jalapeno cream cheese flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 Philadelphia Jalapeno cream cheese
- 4 pita bread rounds
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- bread dip seasoning OR dried Italian seasoning
- Garlic powder optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Brush your baking sheet with olive oil. Brush the tops of the pita with oil, sprinkle the garlic powder and Italian seasoning or any combo of seasoning you have on hand.
Cut the each pita into 8 slices. Place pita triangles seasoning-side up in a single layer on the oiled baking sheet. Repeat process for remaining three pita rounds. Bake the pita slices for 8-12 minutes or until they began to turn dark golden in color. Remove from oven and serve with the cream cheese.
