Pita Pocket Breakfast Sandwich
Ingredients
- 2 whole eggs large
- 2 egg whites large
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 cup baby spinach torn into small pieces
- 4 grape tomatoes sliced in half lengthwise
- 2 green onions diced
- sea salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbles
- 1 whole wheat pita pocket cut in half
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium mixing bowl whisk together eggs, egg whites, milk, spinach, tomatoes, green onions, and salt and pepper to taste. Pour egg mixture into an 8” non-stick skillet, place in oven on middle rack. Brush both sides of each pita half with olive oil, place on foil and warm in the oven during the last 2 minutes of cooking time. Cook eggs approximately 15 to 18 minutes or until puffy and just set in the center, but not hard. Sprinkle on the feta cheese and return to the oven for one more minute.
- Remove skillet from oven, cut omelet in half and place each half in a pita pocket. Press edges into warm pita and serve immediately.

This is a wonderful goto breakfast or lunch! I love making it on weekends and then heating it up in the morning when I'm in a hurry!
could you bake the egg mixture in the peeta bread? or would that burn the bread?
The egg mixture wouldn't hold its shape if you put it in the bread uncooked. That'd be a big soggy mess. But this could definitely be made ahead of time and frozen, then reheated in the microwave!
How would I bake this in the oven if the handles on my pan are not oven safe? Any other way to do this?
Yes, spray a square baking dish or pie dish with cooking oil and bake it in that. Enjoy!
This looks really good. Will give it a try
Yummy! Can’t wait to try this!!! Thank you!
You’re welcome, Lynn! Let us know how it turns out!
I don’t like feta cheeses or crumbs. What can I use in its place??
Hi, Denise. You can substitute with Ricotta if you prefer. Or it would be fine to leave it out entirely.
how would the calorie count change if use a whole egg and not just egg whites if that can be done?
The calories would go up by about 61. Hope this helps. 🙂
Have you tried freezing and reheating these? Any tips on the best way to reheat?
Shelley, I haven’t tried freezing the pita sandwich. If you do this is my recommendation: Place in a ziplock freezer type bag, thaw in the fridge, reheat in a 350 degree oven until heated through, about 15 minutes.
