Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Broccoli florets
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 piece Pita bread
- 1 teaspoon Butter
Instructions
Bring a small pot of water to boil and blanch the broccoli florets for 2 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the blanched broccoli and sauté for 2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Stir gently with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the pan to form soft curds.
When the eggs are almost set but still slightly runny, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and let it melt. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make it pliable.
Spread the butter thinly on the inside of the warm pita. Spoon the broccoli, egg, and cheese mixture into the pita pocket.
Fold the pita closed or serve it open-faced. Enjoy immediately while warm.
