Feta Cheese Appetizers - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 small onion, finely chopped (1/3 cup)
    3 garlic cloves, minced
    2 teaspoons olive oil or 2 teaspoons cooking oil
    1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
    1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cut up
    4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
    1/2 cup chopped pitted kalamata olives or 1/2 cup ripe olives
    1/4 cup chopped roasted red sweet pepper
    1 teaspoon dried dill
    3 pita bread rounds
Preparation
    Preheat broiler.
    In a medium skillet cook onion and garlic in olive oil and sesame oil over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes or until onion is tender.
    Remove from heat.
    Add cream cheese and feta cheese; stir until mixture is nearly smooth.
    Stir in olives, sweet peppers, and dillweed. Set aside.
    Using a long serrated knife, split pita rounds in half horizontally to form two circles.
    Place, cut side up, on a large ungreased baking sheet.
    Broil 3 inches from heat for 1 minute or until pita rounds are lightly toasted.
    Spread each pita round with about 1/3 cup of the cheese mixture.
    Broil about 1 minute more or until hot.
    To serve, use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors to cut each round into 6 wedges.
