Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large whole wheat pita bread
- 4 pieces Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cups Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cups Baby spinach, chopped
- 0.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions
Warm the pita bread in a toaster or on a skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, then set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the diced red bell pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until wilted.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and gently stir with a spatula, cooking for 3-4 minutes until the eggs are softly scrambled.
Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the shredded cheddar cheese, allowing it to melt slightly.
Carefully slice an opening in each warmed pita bread to create a pocket.
Fill each pita pocket with the scrambled egg and vegetable mixture. Add hot sauce if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Breakfast Pita Pocket!
