Instructions
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.
⚡ Flash Tip: Mix the vegetables first so the flavors have a few minutes to blend while the eggs cook.
📷 Step 2
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
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.
