Ingredients
- 4 large Dakota Layers eggs
- kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup cooked vegetables (such as peppers and onions)
- ½ cup shredded cheese (such as sharp cheddar, Pepper Jack, etc)
- 4 (6 1/2 - inch) whole wheat pitas, cut in half and warmed
- 2 cups chopped lettuce or other leafy greens
- ¼ cup sauce of your choice (such as pesto, salsa, tomato sauce, etc)
- 2 strips cooked turkey bacon, crumbled (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk eggs, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat; add your choice of cooked vegetables and cook until warmed, about 1 minute. Add eggs and stir two or three times, cooking until eggs are just set, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, scatter cheese over the top, cover with lid or foil and let “steam.”
- Stuff pita halves with lettuce. Divide egg mixture evenly and add to each pita. Garnish with sauce and turkey bacon, if using.
- Note: The USDA recommends cooking eggs until the yolk and whites are firm.
