Pita with scrambled egg, spinach and feta

Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 0 min
Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS
2 pitas
4 eggs, scrambled
Handful baby spinach
1 round of feta cheese, crumbled

METHOD

1. Toast the pita. Cut in half and slit open the halves to make pockets.
2. Fill each pocket with scrambled egg, spinach and crumbled feta.
3. Season with salt and cracked black pepper.

Adding 1-2 tbsp of water to your whisked scrambled egg mixture makes them lighter whereas adding milk makes them tougher. The water, when heated on the stove, creates a steaming effect and aids in a fluffier end result.
