Step 1
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, thinly slice the 1 small chili pepper and mince the 1 garlic clove.
Step 2
Brush one side of each of the 2 pita breads with the 1 tbsp olive oil. Place one pita, oiled side down, in the skillet.
Step 3
Sprinkle half of the 1 cup shredded mozzarella over the pita, then top with half of the chili and garlic. Place the second pita on top, oiled side up.
Step 4
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden and crisp. Carefully flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the pita is golden.
Step 5
Remove from skillet, let cool for 1 minute, then cut into wedges and serve hot.
