Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- In a non-stick frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add fresh spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. If using frozen peas, add them now and heat for an additional 2 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, add a pinch of salt and pepper, then fold in the sautéed spinach and peas.
- Pour the egg mixture back into the frying pan, cooking on low heat until the eggs are just set, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Meanwhile, warm the whole wheat pitas in a toaster or oven until slightly crispy.
- Once the eggs are fully cooked but still moist, remove from heat and stir in the harissa paste until well combined.
- Carefully cut the warmed pitas in half and fill each pocket with the harissa eggs mixture.
- Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the filled pitas and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using.
- Serve with a simple side salad for a complete meal, and enjoy!
