Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 small red bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
- 2 whole wheat pita bread
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and the yolks are fully incorporated.
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 chopped red onion to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the spinach is wilted.
Reduce the heat to low. Pour the whisked egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for 30 seconds, then gently stir and fold the eggs with a spatula to create soft, fluffy curds.
When the eggs are just set but still slightly glossy, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Warm the pita bread by toasting it in a dry pan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side, or by wrapping it in a damp paper towel and microwaving it for 15 seconds.
Slice each pita in half to create pockets. Carefully spoon the scrambled egg and vegetable mixture into each pita half.
If desired, drizzle hot sauce over the filling for an extra kick of flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your Eggcellent Pita!
