Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Pita bread
- 4 large Lettuce leaves
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Once the water reaches a boil, reduce the heat to medium and let the eggs simmer for 9-10 minutes.
Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water. Let them cool for 5 minutes.
Peel the cooled eggs and chop them into small pieces. Set aside.
Wash and dice the tomatoes into small chunks, discarding excess seeds to avoid a watery salad.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs, diced tomatoes, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Cut the pita bread in half to create pockets. Gently open each half to prepare for stuffing.
Line each pita pocket with a large lettuce leaf to create a barrier for the filling.
Spoon the egg and tomato salad mixture into the pita halves, dividing it evenly between them.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and flavorful pita sandwiches!
