Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until they turn golden brown. Season with salt and pepper. Add the honey and cook until the onions have caramelised.
Place the pita breads on a non-stick baking dish and top with the kasseri cheese. Then top with the caramalised onions, followed by the prawns. Sprinkle the paprika on top and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle a little olive oil on top.
Place the baking tray in the oven and cook the pita breads for 15–20 minutes, until the prawns are cooked and they have a golden brown colour on top.
To serve, garnish with some basil leaves, olive oil drizzled on top and a teaspoon of yoghurt in the centre.
