# Instructions:
01 -
Thinly slice 1/2 medium tomato, 1/4 cup thinly sliced cucumber, and 2 tbsp thinly sliced red onion. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1 tsp fresh lemon juice, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, a pinch of red pepper flakes, and salt and black pepper to taste. This dressing will elevate your Mediterranean Breakfast Sandwich | Quick & Nutritious Start.
02 -
Crack 4 large eggs into a bowl, season with salt and black pepper, and whisk well. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and scramble until just set, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
03 -
Gently warm 2 whole wheat pita pockets in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side, or microwave for 15-20 seconds until soft and pliable. Carefully cut each pita in half to create two pockets.
04 -
Inside each pita half, spread 1/4 cup hummus evenly. Then, sprinkle 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese into each pocket. This forms the creamy, savory base for your Mediterranean Breakfast Sandwich | Quick & Nutritious Start.
05 -
Divide 1 cup fresh baby spinach among the pita pockets. Next, add the scrambled 4 large eggs. Top with the thinly sliced 1/2 medium tomato, 1/4 cup thinly sliced cucumber, and 2 tbsp thinly sliced red onion.
06 -
Drizzle the prepared lemon-oregano dressing over the fillings in each pita. Garnish with 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped. Serve your delicious Mediterranean Breakfast Sandwich | Quick & Nutritious Start immediately for a quick and nutritious start!
# Notes:
01 -
For extra flavor, lightly toast the pita pockets before filling, or even brush them with a little olive oil and grill briefly.
02 -
No feta? Try goat cheese or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan. For a vegan option, omit feta and eggs, and add roasted chickpeas or grilled halloumi.
03 -
Pair this vibrant sandwich with a side of fresh fruit or a small bowl of olives for a complete Mediterranean-inspired meal.
04 -
The veggies can be sliced and the dressing made ahead of time and stored in the fridge, making assembly even quicker in the morning.
