A quick and nutritious recipe that combines cooked eggs and sautéed vegetables stuffed inside warm pitta bread, perfect for a wholesome breakfast or light meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

  • 4 large eggs

Vegetables

  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, onions, spinach, and tomatoes), chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter for cooking
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Pitta Bread

  • 4 whole wheat pitta breads

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped vegetables and sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Cook the eggs: In a bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the vegetables or in a separate pan if preferred. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are fully set but still soft, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Warm the pitta bread: Lightly warm the pitta breads in a dry pan or oven for 1-2 minutes to make them pliable.
  4. Fill the pittas: Cut each pitta in half to create pockets. Spoon the cooked egg and vegetable mixture into each pitta pocket evenly.
  5. Serving: Serve warm as is or with a side of fresh salad or chutney for added flavor.

Notes

  • Use any vegetables you have on hand, such as mushrooms, zucchini, or carrots.
  • For extra protein, add cheese or cooked beans to the filling.
  • Try seasoning the eggs with herbs like parsley or chives for more flavor.
  • To make it vegan, substitute eggs with tofu scramble and use vegan bread.
