1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
→ Zesty Spread & Finish
10 -
1/4 cup hummus
11 -
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
12 -
1/2 lemon, juiced
# Instructions:
01 -
Halve 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, slice 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, and chop 2 tbsp fresh parsley. Gently warm 2 whole wheat pita pockets in a toaster or pan for a few minutes until soft and pliable, ready for your Mediterranean Breakfast Sandwich | Quick & Nutritious Start.
02 -
In a medium bowl, whisk 4 large eggs with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and scramble until cooked through but still soft, about 2-3 minutes.
03 -
Add 1 cup baby spinach to the same skillet with the cooked eggs (or briefly remove eggs and return). Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the spinach just wilts. This adds a fresh, vibrant touch to your Mediterranean Breakfast Sandwich | Quick & Nutritious Start.
04 -
Remove the skillet from heat. Gently fold in 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, the halved 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, and sliced 1/4 cup Kalamata olives with the eggs and spinach. Mix until just combined, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed for a flavorful bite.
05 -
In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup hummus with the chopped 2 tbsp fresh parsley and the juice from 1/2 lemon. Stir well until thoroughly mixed. This zesty spread will elevate the flavors of your Mediterranean Breakfast Sandwich | Quick & Nutritious Start.
06 -
Carefully open each warm pita pocket. Spread a generous amount of the zesty hummus mixture inside each pita. Divide the egg and vegetable filling evenly between the two pita pockets and serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
If your pita pockets are stiff, a quick 10-15 seconds in the microwave or a minute in a hot, dry skillet will make them much easier to open and fill without tearing.
02 -
Feel free to customize! Add a pinch of dried oregano to the eggs, or swap feta for goat cheese. A few slices of avocado would also be a delicious addition.
03 -
To save time on busy mornings, prep the veggie medley and hummus spread the night before. The egg filling can also be cooked ahead and gently reheated.
04 -
Enjoy your Mediterranean Breakfast Sandwich with a side of fresh fruit or a small bowl of Greek yogurt for an even more complete and satisfying meal.
