Kristi Capone: Mango pitta pocket

A delicious and healthy alternative to overprocessed commercial breakfast tarts...

Ingredients

1 wholewheat pitta bread
Fresh mango
1 tbsp vegan cream cheese
Cayenne pepper and salt
Cooking spray

Method

Warm up your panini-maker or grill pan and spray the griddle with a bit of cooking spray.

Slice the wholewheat pita in half and then open the halves up as pockets. Slather the inside of the pita pockets with vegan cream cheese.

Peel the fresh mango and slice the fruit from the core. Add the mango to the pita pockets (tuck in as much as you can without overstuffing). Sprinkle the tops of each pocket with a tiny bit of cayenne pepper and salt.

Place the two halves in the panini-maker and toast for about three minutes. If using a grill pan, toast for three minutes on each side while pressing down on the sandwiches with a spatula. This will ensure the cream cheese melts a bit and the fruit gets warm.

Serve warm with a big glass of cold soymilk and enjoy!
