Breakfast Pita

Do your breakfasts get boring? I know, mine, too! So I'm constantly searching for something different to do for breakfast. Something to give it a little POW! Here's a healthy pita idea.

Breakfast Pita

Ingredients:

2 eggs scrambled, with unlimited chopped veggies of your choice
2 Tbsp. cheese, recommended low or no fat
1/2 of a whole grain pita

Directions:

Heat a pan on the stove, add 2 Tbsp water to the pan, and then add your chopped veggies to saute. Once the veggies are cooked to your liking, add the eggs and scramble. Once your eggs are cooked to your liking, add the cheese and immediately move to your pita pocket. Enjoy!!

Want a lower calorie option? Use liquid egg whites instead of whole eggs. Using egg whites cuts back on the cholesterol, fat and carbs that a whole egg has. Be careful though! Some of the liquid egg whites have some yolk in them. Make sure you read the label carefully to ensure that you are only getting egg whites in your carton! A highly recommended brand that I use is Crystal Farms All Whites, which is 100% egg whites. :) On the carton, there are measurements to let you know how much of the liquid egg whites equals how many eggs. Try it out! It tastes great!

Want to mix up the flavor? Try different kinds of cheese! Maybe put in some swiss, or provolone, or one of my favorites is Jarlsberg. Check out the deli section at your local grocery store for your many options!

Enjoy! And Good Luck!
