Eggs In A Pita

And why you need this breakfast/brunch (or sometimes supper) idea in your life

I’m not sure when I started preparing these pitas stuffed with scrambled eggs and yummy gooey cheese, but I have a feeling that they were born during the Covid lockdown. There is a very vivid recollection of my then 5-year-old son eating one while in his kindergarten Zoom class and Morah Baila asking him, “What are you eating, it looks yummy.” Yes, he was eating during Zoom class but, hey, Morah didn’t mind and this pita is the type of thing you can eat anywhere, it’s very portable. 

We will, on occasion, eat it at the bus stop, or sometimes even pack it in the lunchbox.

In the summer months, when the kids are way too busy to stop for a minute and come inside to eat, this becomes a great on-the-go dinner option too. It’s a well-balanced meal, says me. 

So here is what you need, and what you need to know. 

You need pita. Good, fresh, fluffy pita. Not yesterday’s stale pita. And yes, this can be easily done in a wrap too.

You need sliced cheese. Mozzarella or muenster will do. 

You need 2 eggs. Use them to prepare an omelet or scramble them (we prefer scrambled eggs with a splash of milk). 

Slice of tomato and lettuce is HIGHLY recommended but completely optional. I have kids too, I get it. 

Is this a recipe? Not really. It’s a hack, mostly. 

Slice off the top of the pita to open it up.

You may need to open it up a bit more if the halves are stuck together.

Place a slice of cheese inside. 

Fill it with the hot eggs. Hot is key, because you want the cheese to melt a bit. If you look closely you will see that we took our jolly time at the photoshoot and the eggs were probably cold by the time the picture was taken, hence, the not-so-melted-cheese. It’s still delicious tho. 

Add the tomato if your kids will let.

And lettuce. 

Wrap it in foil if eating later on,

or, if eating at the bus stop. 

This is the perfect breakfast to pack if you are running to catch an early flight with kids, or want them to eat in the car with minimal mess. This is also my favorite lunch when I have to spend my lunch break in front of the computer.
