Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Pita bread
- 4 pieces Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 small Tomato, diced
- 1 cup Spinach, fresh
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Warm the pita bread: Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly warm each pita for 1-2 minutes on each side until soft, then set aside.
Prepare the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Cook the eggs: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently stir with a spatula, cooking until the eggs are just set but still soft. Remove from heat.
Assemble the filling: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomato, and spinach into the scrambled eggs. Mix gently until the cheese melts and the vegetables are evenly distributed.
Stuff the pita: Slice each pita bread open to create a pocket. Divide the egg mixture evenly and stuff it into the pita pockets. Add a drizzle of hot sauce if desired.
Serve: Serve the stuffed pita warm and enjoy!
