Step 1:
How to make delicious crispy fried envelopes of pita bread with cheese in a frying pan? Very simple and fast! First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. It is better to start cooking with the filling. Cheese varieties can be selected according to your taste. For example, replace mozzarella with suluguni or cheese, etc.
Step 2:
Grate both types of cheese on a fine or medium grater. Mozzarella comes in two types - for pizza and brine. You can use either of these two types. I have brine mozzarella, which I previously removed from the brine and dried.
Step 3:
Wash the dill and parsley, dry and chop finely. If desired, you can replace or supplement with other herbs, for example, green onions, coriander or use a mixture of different herbs.
Step 4:
Combine cheese with herbs, sour cream and mayonnaise. Pepper the filling to taste. If the cheeses are salty enough, it is better not to add salt to the filling, because there is enough salt in the mayonnaise.
Step 5:
Mix the mixture thoroughly until smooth. The mass should not be fluid.
Step 6:
Now prepare the base for the envelopes. Instead of Armenian lavash, you can also use 1-2 sheets of wheat roll. They keep their shape well, do not get wet.
Step 7:
Cut the lavash into strips 7-8 cm wide. I had a long pita bread measuring about 70 by 35 cm. I cut it in half and each resulting piece into 3 strips. It turned out 6 long strips. Pita bread dries very quickly, so the strips need to be cut last, when the filling is already prepared. Before that, it is better to store pita bread in a hermetically sealed bag.
Step 8:
Put 1 tablespoon of cheese filling on the edge of each strip.
Step 9:
Roll the pita bread strips into triangles. At the same time, all edges should be wrapped with pita bread, then the filling will not leak out of the envelope.
Step 10:
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over low heat. Lay out the triangles of pita bread and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Step 11:
Serve the envelopes hot until the cheese is frozen. Enjoy your meal!

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.

It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting recipes for homemade mayonnaise.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper).
