A Better Breakfast Pita Pocket

Monday, January 24, 2011

Serves 2 



This recipe is super EASY!! and is a super tasty way to get vegetables into the morning meal.  You can change it up to suit your taste. Try substituting broccoli or asparagus for the spinach; add sausage or veggie sausage; use warm whole wheat tortillas or naan in place of the pitas.

Ingredients

Natural spray oil 
2 cups packed baby spinach (or 1 cup frozen, then thawed and squeezed) 
3 cage-free eggs, beaten 
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste 
1/3 cup grated mozzarella cheese 
2 whole wheat pitas, warm

Method

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with oil, add spinach and cook, tossing often, until just wilted, about 1 minute. Add eggs, salt and pepper and cook, tossing gently, until fluffy and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat, add mozzarella and toss again. Spoon egg mixture onto pitas, fold in half and serve right away or wrap in foil to eat on the go.
