Ingredients

• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 cups Red bell pepper, diced
• 1 cups Baby spinach, chopped
• 0.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 pieces Whole wheat pita pockets
• 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until slightly softened.

Step 4

Add the chopped baby spinach to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until wilted.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and scramble gently with a spatula, folding the cooked eggs over themselves, until fully set but still moist. This should take about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and evenly distributed.

Step 7

Warm the pita pockets in a toaster or microwave until pliable, about 20 seconds.

Step 8

Cut each pita pocket in half and gently open each half to create a pocket.

Step 9

Spoon the scrambled egg mixture into each pita pocket half, dividing evenly among the four halves.

Step 10

Drizzle with hot sauce if desired, and serve immediately or wrap tightly in foil for a grab-and-go option.
