Whether you have kids or are a kid at heart, shredding the cheddar cheese sticks by hand is a fun way to not dirty up a knife. Plus, the cheddar cheese sticks are free from hormones, antibiotics, and preservatives. Add-ons include apple butter if you like a sweet and salty or mustard if you want a little spice. This recipe serves 1 to 2 people.
Here is how to make this recipe with purpose-fueled food that’s better for the prosperity of our planet and people.
Ingredients
- 1-2 cheddar cheese sticks, shredded
- 1 slice of ham, cut into bite size pieces
- 1 greek style pita
- 1 tsp. apple butter or 1 tsp. mustard, optional
- ¼ cup greens, optional
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place your greek style pita on a baking sheet. If you are using apple butter for a sweet addition to your melt or mustard for a spicy addition, spread that on top of the pita bread.
Slice your ham into bite sized pieces and place it on the pita in an even layer.
Slice the cheese stick(s) into smaller pieces to get an even layer of melted cheese on top. If your kids are helping, allow them to shred the cheese sticks with their fingers. Pro Tip: You can also shred the cheese with your fingers as an adult that doesn’t want to dirty up a knife. Place the cheese on top of the ham in an even layer.
Place your assembled melt into the oven until your cheese is melted to your liking ( about 10-15 minutes). Add greens on top for a bit of veggies and extra nutrients if you like.
