Skip the drive-through in the morning and whip up a batch of these breakfast pizzas instead. You’ll be glad you did! Tomatoes and basil and, of course, gooey Mozzarella cheese add punch to scrambled eggs all on top of a crispy whole wheat pita bread. Add a glass of milk and a piece of fruit and you’re set.
Ingredients
4 | whole wheat pita breads, about 7 inches (18 cm) diameter | 4 |
1 cup | shredded Mozzarella cheese | 250 mL |
2 | small tomatoes, thinly sliced | 2 |
pepper | ||
4 | large eggs | 4 |
1/8 tsp | dried basil | 0.5 mL |
1/8 tsp | salt | 0.5 mL |
2 tsp | butter | 10 mL |
1 Tbsp | chopped fresh chives or green onions | 15 mL |
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C).
Step 2
Place pita breads on a large baking sheet, overlapping slightly at edges, if necessary. Sprinkle evenly with half of the Mozzarella and top with sliced tomatoes. Sprinkle with pepper to taste. Bake for 3 minutes or until cheese is melted and tomatoes are hot.
Step 3
Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together eggs, basil, salt and a pinch of pepper until frothy.
Step 4
In a nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and add egg mixture; cook, scrambling gently for about 1 minute or until just set.
Step 5
Remove pitas from oven. Spoon egg mixture on top, dividing equally. Sprinkle with remaining Mozzarella and chives or green onions. Bake for about 2 minutes or until pitas are crisp around the edges and cheese is melted.
