instructions
1 Prepare the ingredients

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 450°F. Grate the cheese on the large side of a box grater; place in a bowl. Add the harissa paste and stir to combine. Peel 1 clove of garlic; using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate into a paste. In a bowl, combine the yogurt and as much of the garlic paste as you'd like. Season with salt and pepper. Wash and dry the mint; pick the leaves off the stems.

2 Make the cheesy pitas & serve your dish

Line a sheet pan with foil. Place the pitas on the foil. Evenly top with the harissa-cheese mixture. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned and the cheese is melted. Transfer to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, cut into equal-sized wedges. Serve the cheesy pitas with the garlic yogurt. Garnish the pitas with the mint leaves (tearing just before adding). Enjoy!
