Breakfast Pita Pockets
Cook time: 5min Prep time: 10min Total time: 15min
Servings: 2 Pita Halves
Ingredients
- 4 Heinen's cage free eggs
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. black pepper
- 1 tsp. Heinen's paprika or Heinen's chili powder (optional)
- 2 pieces Heinen's CARE Certified Canadian bacon, diced
- 1 piece Heinen's pita bread, cut in half
- 2 Tbsp. fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup Heinen's shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of your choice)
Instructions
- In a medium-size bowl stir together the eggs, Canadian bacon, chives, salt, pepper and the optional paprika or chili powder.
- Spray cooking spray on a medium-size skillet. Heat the skillet over medium heat.
- Add the egg mixture to the skillet.
- Let the eggs cook, untouched, until the edges start to set. Use a large spoon or spatula and slowly lift and fold the egg mixture.
- Continue to cook the eggs for 1-2 minutes, or until the egg mixture is cooked through.
- Lay the two pitas on a plate and spoon the egg mixture evenly into the two halves. Sprinkle each pita with the shredded cheese and extra chives.
Notes
- If desired, add other vegetables to the egg mixture like onion, bell pepper, garlic or zucchini.
- Spices add flavor to these egg pitas. Other than paprika or chili powder, try za’atar, oregano, Italian seasoning or curry.
- Fresh herbs are a nice addition to this recipe. Try fresh basil, parsley or dill.
