Toast the mini pita in a toaster or toaster oven. Just be careful, if using a toaster, when removing them. I keep a set of wooden chopsticks on hand for safely “fishing” smaller items from the toaster. I love this dish following a quick breakfast omelet or scramble. It has only about 100 calories, so it provides a guilt-free sweet treat after lean protein to fill me (or you!) up. If you’re making this for small children, they’re likely to love it even more if you mix the bruschetta topping with the yogurt and then stuff it in the pitas—they’re apt to find it easier to eat.
