HALIFAX DONAIR GRILLED CHEESE

Hello there my Galley friends. So very glad you dropped by. I was in the mood today for an easy supper, so created this little number for you to try. Very much a take on traditional grilled cheese but with Middle Eastern flavours, in the style of a Mexican quesadilla.
Load these as you wish. More cheese. More veggies. Double up the tasty donair meat and extra sauce.
I used split pitas to keep this more donair authentic and because I liked the bread-like texture but because these are so similar to quesadillas there’s no reason why you couldn’t sub in flour tortillas instead.
So very easy to throw together and super tasty. Perfect for a light lunch or supper. Add a fistful of crunchy chips and a tangy Greek salad, and don’t forget a little extra donair sauce for dipping.
Is there no end to what can be created with this wonderfully seasoned donair meat? Well, just look at what I’ve come up with so far…
