Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 tablespoon Basil pesto
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 whole Pita bread
- 4 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cups Baby spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons Grated mozzarella cheese
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, basil pesto, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, swirling to coat the surface of the pan.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
Using a spatula, gently fold the omelet in half, then continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked but still fluffy.
Meanwhile, warm the pita bread in a toaster or on a dry skillet over low heat for 1-2 minutes until soft and pliable.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and wash the baby spinach leaves thoroughly.
Cut the warmed pita bread in half to create two pockets, and gently open each pocket to make room for the filling.
Stuff each pita pocket with half of the cooked omelet, cherry tomato halves, baby spinach leaves, and a sprinkle of grated mozzarella cheese.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your delicious Pesto Omelet in a Pita Pocket!
