1/2 C. onion, diced
2 small basil leaves, fresh
1/2 C. mushrooms, shiitake or cultivated
2 tsp. fresh oregano, chopped, or 1/2 tsp. crushed dried basil

Meanwhile, split pita bread in half horizontally. Place pita halves directly on oven rack. Bake for 5 minutes or until lightly toasted. Arrange tomato slices and basil leaves on bread.
