Essential Ingredients

1 whole-wheat pita, halved
2 large eggs
Cucumber
Tomato
Crumbled feta cheese
Extra-virgin olive oil
Za'atar seasoning

Ingredient Tips

Whole-wheat pita adds extra fiber, but white pita or flatbread work well too.

Za'atar is a fragrant Middle Eastern seasoning made with herbs, sesame seeds, and tangy sumac that gives this recipe its signature Mediterranean taste.

How to Make Egg, Tomato & Feta Breakfast Pita

📷 Step 1

Combine the diced cucumber, tomato, feta cheese, and half of the za'atar in a small bowl. Toss gently until everything is evenly coated.

Diced cucumber, tomato, feta cheese, and za'atar tossed together in a small bowl.

⚡ Flash Tip: Mix the vegetables first so the flavors have a few minutes to blend while the eggs cook.

📷 Step 2

Eggs cooking in a nonstick skillet while whole-wheat pita warms nearby.

Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack in the eggs, cover, and cook until the whites begin to set. Remove the lid and continue cooking until the whites are fully cooked and the edges are lightly crisp. Sprinkle the remaining za'atar over the eggs.

📷 Step 3

Sunny-side-up eggs tucked into warm whole-wheat pita pockets and topped with a fresh cucumber, tomato, feta, and za'atar salad before serving.

Place one egg inside each pita half and top with the cucumber and tomato mixture. Serve immediately while warm.

🚫 Avoid This Mistake: Avoid overcooking the eggs. A slightly soft yolk adds richness and helps bring all the flavors together.
