Tips for Spinach and Feta Stuffed Whole Wheat Pita

Choose a pita with an intact pocket; thin spots can split under the moist filling.
The filling should look glossy and evenly coated, not watery. If spinach releases liquid, let excess moisture evaporate before combining.
Warm the pita just enough to make it pliable; overheating can make it brittle and prone to tearing.

Drink pairing

A crisp, dry rosé
Its fresh acidity complements the lemon and feta without overpowering the spinach.

0% option: Sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon

Storage

For best texture, store the filling and pita separately in airtight containers and refrigerate within 2 hours; keep for 3–4 days. Reheat the filling until steaming hot and fill the pita just before serving.
