Chicken sausage comes in many flavors, so I try different ones when I make pitas with fresh basil and veggies, inspired by the Greek gyro. -Christina Price, Colorado Springs, Colorado

A good substitute for the plain old omelet. You can use a variety of ingredients; however, I like the all meat version. Serve with salsa and ketchup!

Steps:
- First, heat a pan on medium heat (I like to spray a little cooking spray, because the sausages sometimes stick) and then cook the two sausage patties until browned.
- Then take the slices of cheese and place them on the sausage pattie, and turn the heat down to low.
- When the cheese is a little melted take the patties and place them in the halfed pita pocket. Then put the pocket back in the pan, and brown until lightly toasted on both sides.
- Lastly, take out the pita pocket and spoon the sauce into the sandwich.
- enjoy.
- *NOTE: you can use any type of cheese or meat and sauce.

Tips:
- For a crispier pita pocket, brush the outside with olive oil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes.
- If you don't have a baking sheet, you can cook the pita pockets in a large skillet over medium heat.
- To make the spicy sausage filling ahead of time, simply cook the sausage and peppers according to the recipe and let cool completely. Store the filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- When assembling the pita pockets, be sure to add plenty of shredded cheese. This will help to hold the filling in place and make the pita pockets more gooey and delicious.
- Serve the pita pockets with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or tzatziki sauce.
