Step 1:
How to make pies from pita bread? Prepare the products. From one sheet of thin pita bread, 4 small pies will come out. Take cheese that melts well. Also choose greens according to your taste. I didn't have any fresh ones, I took frozen parsley and purple basil.
Step 2:
Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.
Step 3:
If the greens are fresh, wash them under running water, and then dry them. Excess moisture will make the filling wet. Then finely chop it.
Step 4:
Combine cheese and greens. Mix it up. The filling is ready.
Step 5:
Take the pita bread. Cut it into long strips. The approximate size for small pies is 9-10 cm wide and 40-50 cm long. Then the filling will be wrapped securely and will not leak out when frying. It is convenient to cut pita bread with scissors.
Step 6:
Form the pies. To do this, take a strip of pita bread and put the filling on it. How much to put is at your discretion. You can put the cheese on 2/3 of the length, it will melt and taste better. Put the juicy filling only at the beginning, it will soak the pita bread along the length.
Step 7:
Start wrapping the pita bread, bending a triangle with each turn.
Step 8:
Wrap this up to the very end of the strip. The result will be such a triangular pie.
Step 9:
Do the same with the other strips.
Step 10:
The pies are wrapped, you can start frying them.
Step 11:
For the egg batter, break an egg into a bowl and lightly beat it with a fork. Add a pinch of salt.
Step 12:
Preheat a frying pan on the stove. Pour vegetable oil on it. Dip each patty on all sides in the egg, and then put it in oil in a frying pan.
Step 13:
Fry the pies on low heat until golden brown for about 2 minutes.
Step 14:
Flip the pies to the other side and fry them as well.
Step 15:
Put the finished pies on a paper towel - it will absorb excess fat. Serve the pie on the table immediately, hot - then they will be crispy.

I have already cooked similar pies, with different fillings. Only then they were fried simply in oil, without batter. With egg, the pies are tastier, although fatter. It turns out a very appetizing crust.

Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.

How to choose the right pita bread? First of all, look at the date of manufacture on the package. Do not take expired pastries. Fresh pita bread should have a pleasant smell. Take a good look so that there are no stains and signs of mold on it.
