Equipment
Method
- In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them lightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Pour the whisked eggs into the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the edges start to set.
- Add the diced cucumber and grated carrots to the eggs, gently folding them into the mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft in texture.
- Meanwhile, warm the whole wheat pitas in a toaster or on a dry pan for about 1 minute on each side until they are soft and pliable.
- Carefully fill each pita with the egg, cucumber, and carrot mixture, using a spatula to ensure an even distribution.
- Serve the stuffed pita cut in half, accompanied by a side salad and a generous spoonful of Greek yogurt. Garnish with chopped parsley and a sprinkle of sumac or za’atar if desired.
