Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Components

  • 2 pieces whole wheat pita
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 small tomato, sliced
  • 1/4 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 handful fresh spinach leaves
  • 2 tbsp hummus
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper


Instructions

  1. Preheat Skillet: Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the eggs.
  2. Whisk Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper until fully combined for seasoning.
  3. Cook Scrambled Eggs: Add olive oil to the heated skillet, then pour in the egg mixture. Stir gently and cook until the eggs are softly scrambled and just set.
  4. Warm Pita: Warm the whole wheat pita pieces in a toaster or on a dry skillet for about 1 minute on each side to make them pliable and slightly toasted.
  5. Assemble Sandwich: Spread hummus inside each pita pocket, then layer in the fresh spinach, tomato slices, and cucumber slices for crisp texture and freshness.
  6. Add Eggs: Divide the scrambled eggs evenly between the pita pockets on top of the veggies.
  7. Top with Feta: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the eggs, then gently press the pitas closed to secure the filling.
  8. Serve: Slice the sandwiches in half if desired and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh vegetables for the best flavor and crunch.
  • You can substitute the whole wheat pita with gluten-free pita if needed.
  • For a vegan option, replace eggs with tofu scramble and feta with vegan cheese.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on dietary requirements.
