Chicken Basil Sausage Pita with Roasted Garlic Mushrooms, Fresh Mozz, and Spinach

Who says you can't eat well at work. Do you have a toaster oven? That's all you need for "desktop cooking."

Since my refrigerator is practically a giant compost bin, I have started to take any leftovers, scraps, or misfits to work. With the ingredients we bring in, my office mate and partner in crime, Cari, try to come up with a creative way to use what we have.

Today's creation was Chicken Basil Sausage Pita with Roasted Garlic Mushrooms, Fresh Mozzarella, and Spinach.

Ingredients Used:

Amylu Caprese Chicken Sausage (Costco)

Fresh Mozzarella

Spinach

1 Clove Garlic

Spray Olive Oil

Mushrooms

Cherry Tomatoes

Total Time: 15 minutes

I first roasted leftover mushrooms with garlic and spray olive oil in the toaster over on the "broil setting" for about 5 minutes.

At the same time, Cari microwaved the chicken sausage from Costco for 1 minute.

We met back at the kitchen table and started assembling our masterpieces.

She went with an easy to eat stuffed pita. I took my chances on a "pizza" version that I toasted in the toaster over for 2 minutes. I have to say, it was pretty impressive.

Go ahead, skip the cafeteria, and make use with what you have (and a toaster oven). You may surprise yourself!
