Recipe Tips
Of course any Cabot cheese would be delicious in the grilled pitas. Try classic
Seriously Sharp, flavorful Garlic Herb, or tangy Horseradish Cheddar.
Bread and butter pickles give this cheesy grilled pita a touch of sweetness but kosher dill pickles work well too. Be sure to look for “sandwich stuffers,” which are pickles cut long and thin.
