Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Cut each round into 8 wedges.

You can use a 4-ounce can of mushrooms pieces and stems, drained, instead of the fresh mushrooms.
For lunch the next day, stuff remaining pitas with shredded lettuce, sliced tomato and any leftover veggies and cheese. Drizzle stuffed pita with your favorite dressing. Oh, so good!
