How else can you roll pita bread?
You can wrap pita bread in a pie not only in the form of a triangle; pita bread with ham and cheese in a frying pan is often formed in the form of a square or envelope folded in four. How to do it?
- The only difference between a square folded four times and other molding options is that this option is not fried in batter or eggs, as it is already formed in a frying pan during the heat treatment process. To do this, place pita bread, cut to the diameter of the dish, on a heated frying pan, put 3 tbsp on one half. l. filling and fold in half using a spatula. Then spread another tablespoon of cheese mixture over the surface and fold in half again. Turn the resulting lavash pie over to the other side and wait until it browns.
- It’s even easier to roll up a layer of lavash with an envelope: cut it into squares measuring 20 * 20 cm (approximately), put the filling in the center in a longitudinal strip and fold two edges (left and right) towards the center, and then repeat the action with the top and bottom edges. Next, roll the resulting envelope in beaten egg or batter and fry in a frying pan on both sides until browned.
What to choose for the filling?
If you are a vegetarian, and pita bread with ham and cheese in a frying pan is not a suitable filling option for you, then you can replace the ham with fresh tomatoes. The recipe will look like this: mix 4 tbsp in a cup. l. sour cream with 200-250 grams of grated cheese. Place the cut pieces of lavash on the table, place the filling in the center of each, and carefully distribute the tomato circles on top of it.
Next, if desired, you can use fresh basil leaves: sprinkle a small amount of chopped herbs and a pinch of salt on each piece of tomato. Wrap each piece of pita bread in an envelope, dip in beaten eggs (2 pieces) and fry in a large frying pan until lightly browned. This version of the dish is dietary compared to the first option, so if a person has problems with excess weight, but really wants to try lavash pies, it’s worth taking it into consideration.

Cut the ham into thin strips, grate the cheese and combine with the sausage, adding herbs. This will be the filling for future rolls. In a separate bowl, prepare the batter: beat the eggs with milk and spices, add flour in the process. The mixture must be thoroughly mixed so that no small lumps of flour remain. Spread the pita bread on the table, spread ketchup along the entire perimeter (choose according to your taste: spicy or mild), and then spread the filling over it in an even layer, spreading it with a spoon or knife. Starting from the wider edge, roll the pita bread into a roll, trying to make it as tight as possible.
Let it sit for a few minutes to soften a little, then cut into medium-sized pieces using a very sharp knife. Next, roll each piece of pita bread with ham and cheese in batter, fry in a frying pan in vegetable oil (the amount should be enough for the rolls to be half immersed in it). When they are browned, remove with a slotted spoon onto a paper towel, dry a little from excess fat and place on a serving dish on which green lettuce leaves were previously laid out.
Another molding option
This method of frying pita bread with ham and cheese in a frying pan is called lazy because it is not particularly meticulous in the cooking process; it is often used by people for whom the aesthetics of the dish is not a priority - as long as it is quick and tasty.

- Heat a frying pan over medium heat, pour 2-3 tbsp onto it. l. vegetable oil.
- Cut a large pita bread into 2-3 pieces so that each square is slightly larger than the diameter of the frying pan. There is no need to make it round by adjusting it to the shape of the dish. Place one cut in a frying pan in oil.
- Place a generous pinch of cheese in the middle, a little ham on top, and crack a gray egg on top. Using a fork, start mixing the filling right inside the pita bread for 3-6 seconds.
- Fold the corners of the pita bread towards the center and lightly press them inward, and after 30 seconds, using a spatula, turn the resulting square with the filling over to the other side and fry for another 1-2 minutes, covering the dish with a lid.
The resulting filled pie is best served hot, flavored with sauce, mayonnaise or ketchup if desired.
