A quick and healthy Mediterranean Breakfast Sandwich featuring fluffy scrambled eggs, fresh vegetables, creamy hummus, and tangy feta cheese wrapped in warm whole wheat pita bread. Perfect for a nutritious start to your day in just 18 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. Preheat skillet: Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the eggs.
  2. Whisk eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs with salt and black pepper until fully combined to season the eggs evenly.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Assemble sandwich: Spread 1 tablespoon of hummus inside each pita pocket, then layer in fresh spinach leaves, tomato slices, and cucumber slices.
  6. Add eggs: Divide the scrambled eggs evenly between the prepared pita pockets on top of the vegetables.
  7. Add feta cheese: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the eggs inside each pita for a tangy, creamy flavor.
  8. 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.
