Cheesy Garlic Pitta

What is it?

Split pitta bread is filled with garlic butter and melted cheese, then toasted until the edges go crisp and the centre stays soft. As it heats, the butter runs into the bread and the cheese settles into the pockets, so you get a mix of toasted crust and gooey middle in every bite. In the sides lineup at Nando's, it sits alongside plain pitta and garlic bread as a heavier, more indulge... richer option that works well for sharing or as a starter. Expect the garlic butter to pool slightly at the bottom of the pitta, which means the last few bites tend to be the most flavourful. Pair it with PERi-PERi chicken or grilled halloumi, and the richness of the cheese and butter helps balance out the heat from spicier menu items.
