Main Ingredients
- 2 pieces whole wheat pita
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 small tomato, sliced
- 1/4 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 handful fresh spinach leaves
- 2 tbsp hummus
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat skillet: Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the eggs.
- Whisk eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs with salt and black pepper until fully combined to season the eggs evenly.
- Cook eggs: Add olive oil to the preheated skillet, then pour in the egg mixture. Stir gently and cook until the eggs are softly scrambled, creamy, and cooked through.
- Warm pita: Warm the whole wheat pita pieces either in a toaster or on a dry skillet for about 1 minute per side to make them soft and pliable.
- Assemble sandwich: Spread 1 tablespoon of hummus inside each pita pocket, then layer in fresh spinach leaves, tomato slices, and cucumber slices.
- Add eggs: Divide the scrambled eggs evenly between the prepared pita pockets on top of the vegetables.
- Add feta cheese: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the eggs inside each pita for a tangy, creamy flavor.
- Serve: Gently press the pita pockets closed, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately for a fresh and satisfying breakfast.
Notes
- You can substitute whole wheat pita with gluten-free pita if preferred.
- Adjust the amount of salt and pepper according to taste.
- For added protein, consider adding slices of grilled chicken or turkey.
- The sandwich is best served fresh but can be wrapped in foil and refrigerated for up to 1 day.
- Use fresh spinach leaves for the best texture and flavor.
