Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Scramble the egg, and cook in med-hi skillet, flipping once midway through. Leaving it in a single piece, omelet style makes assembly and eating easier and neater.
  2. While the egg is cooking, wrap pita in a slightly damp dishtowel, and microwave for 20-40 seconds, until warm and pliable (be careful - it's hotter inside, so be careful opening the pita). You can leave the pita wrapped in the towel until ready to use it.
  3. Cut/tear the pita to make a flap of half the diameter of the pita; fold the flap back.
  4. Fold the egg in half; melt the cheese on the egg, or make a cheese omelet if you wish.
  5. Slide the egg/cheese into the warm, waiting pita, stuffing it gently into the pouch of the bread,.
  6. Spread the pesto onto the inside of the flap .
  7. Fold pita closed, and roll, if desired.
  8. NOTE: since you are multi-tasking here, I put a single time in the Preparation box, rather than try to split it up.
