Instructions
- Preheat broiler.
- In a small bowl, combine red peppers with oregano or fennel, salt and pepper. In a second bowl, combine cheeses. Set aside.
- Cut each pita so that you have 4 flat rounds. Place the rounds, rough side up, on a baking sheet. Broil, being careful not to burn them, until golden brown around the edges, about one minute. Remove from broiler.
- Distribute tomato sauce over each pita, spreading it to the edges. Top each pita with roasted red peppers. Sprinkle each with cheese, then add the onion in rings.
- Broil again until cheese is melted and pizzas are hot, about two minutes.
