2. Cut the pita breads in half and set aside.

3. Shred the cheese and mix well with the garlic.

6. Place pita breads with cheese on a flat pan, cookie sheet or aluminum foil and put in the oven for 5 minutes, until the cheese melts. You may wish to make these in batches to keep the cheese melted and the bread from getting hard.
