Ingredients
  

  • 4 whole-wheat pita breads about 5-inch, halved
  • 8 large eggs approx. 400 g
  • 1 cup frozen chopped spinach about 150 g, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese about 60 g, crumbled
  • 1 tbsp olive oil 15 ml
  • 4 tbsp sun-dried tomato pesto about 60 ml
  • 1/4 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and add olive oil, letting it warm until it shimmers lightly
  2. Add the drained spinach and sauté briefly until heated through and slightly fragrant
  3. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper until smooth and lightly frothy
  4. Pour the eggs into the pan and cook gently, stirring slowly to form soft, creamy curds
  5. Continue stirring until the eggs are just set but still slightly moist and tender
  6. Remove from heat and fold in the crumbled feta so it softens without fully melting
  7. Warm the pita halves in a dry pan or oven until soft and slightly toasted
  8. Spread a spoonful of sun-dried tomato pesto inside each pita pocket
  9. Fill each pita with the spinach and egg mixture, ensuring an even distribution
  10. Serve immediately while warm and fluffy
