This simple dish is both delicious and easy to make. You can also top this with your favorite homemade or store-bought salsa. I found this recipe in an AARP email. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but it sounds delicious. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion |
1 small finely chopped red bell pepper |
2 large eggs, beaten |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
14 teaspoons ground black pepper, to taste |
1 (6 inch) whole wheat pita bread, cut in half and lightly toasted |
1/4 cup grated sharp low-fat cheddar cheese |
4 slices pancetta or 1 slice bacon, cooked and cut into small pieces |
Directions:
1. In a medium nonstick frying pan, heat the olive oil.
2. Add the onion and saute for 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Add the red pepper and continue to cook for another 3 minutes or until the pepper begins to soften.
4. Add eggs and gently scramble until just cooked.
5. Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat.
6. Preheat the broiler or toaster oven.
7. Divide the egg mixture between the pita halves.
8. Top each pita with half the cheese and half the pancetta or bacon.
9. Toast in toaster oven or under a broiler until the cheese just begins to melt.
10. Serve immediately.
